For sure! I put one on my BX to power extra lights and a 12 volt heater off of Ebay for my cab. Lights are really bright and the heater keeps me warm without draining the battery.:thumbsup:
The dynamo only puts out 15 amps max, when idling or at lower rpm even a couple of lights could start discharging the battery.
Do you have a number for a kit? My dynamo is fine so far, but I can't see replacing it when/if it goes out if there is a reasonably priced alternative. I've been looking at alternator case sizes, there isn't a lot of space to mount one.

What I am wondering is if there is a cheaper alternative to "the kit"...i.e., is there a something like a delco etc. that is easy to adapt without any fabricating?
Delcoes are huge compared to the space available with the side cover on.
The simplest way would probably be to find out what alternator was used in Kubota's conversion kit. Once you have that it would be easy (and cheap) to get one by number. Even the kit I saw had brackets and a harness to replace the external regulator so I don't think you will find a bolt up solution.

I've been exploring the same question on another thread:

I'll be interested to learn what you come up with!

Pine,
I did my BX22 this fall. I also added 3 6" halogens (1 facing forward-2 reverse) I couldn't have added them without the upgrade. I got the kit & had everything installed & back together in 45 minutes. Don't hesitate, go. :thumbsup:
