    Shaft Conversion for PTO Generator

    Ok, I found the shaft at TSC and got the PTO generator running. It generates but at very low output. You'll note in the picture below that the pulley ratio (top n bottom) look like their set up for a 540rpm correct? I plugged a droplight in and got a variable brightness out of it...

    Shaft Conversion for PTO Generator

    Thanks for the responses. Note: The tag says: 5300 Watts 115/230 23 Amps 3600 RPM 1 Phase You'll also note that it's a 3 point hitch setup, which I assumed was for a real 540 PTO.

    Shaft Conversion for PTO Generator

    I purchased an used Winco 5300 PTO generator the other day. But it has a 3/4" square shaft. Is there a conversion part which will allow it to join to the rear PTO or do I need to replace it at the u-joint? Also, I noticed that it says 3600 rpm. Will that convert due to the shaft on the tractor...

    Kubota Road Trip

    Well, the cousins had to meet for the first time. A B2620 and the newest, an L3800. Trailer one to meet the other? Heck no. 6.5 miles on the road. 40 minutes. What's the longest you've driven your tractor along a scenic road?

    Synthetic Oil at first 50 hour service?

    After reading several, long oil threads, I studied the manual for my B2620 and am a bit stunned. The range of oil weight recommendations seems crazy. I've owned 16 Mercedes diesels and 5 VW TDI's and never....never has 10w30 been part of the discussion. Yet there it is....as one of the...

    Mowing - Ring Around the Trees

    I'm loving my b2620 (60" mmm) but the obvious weight increase (upgrade from a JD345 lawn tractor) is leaving a significant ring around all trees while mowing. I've tried slowing down which helps a bit. And more recently, I've stopped doing the complete circles. Any other ideas?

    Grease zerk question (b2620 w/ QA from b3200)

    I have a new b2620 with the quick attach (FEL) from the b3200. It's amazing. There are supposed to be 6 grease points per side on the FEL, but there are only 4 zerks per side due to the QA. It's obvious (black grease collecting dirt) that the QA has two grease needs on rotating pins, but those...

    My New B2620

    Thanks to the collective wisdom of the forum, I selected a b2620 for my first ever CUT. The quick attach suggestion (from the forum) of matching a b3200QA was amazing. The salesman looked at me and said, ...well, never heard of it but its your money... Bucket, QA pallet forks, 60 mmm, 60...
