    B2650 alternator upgrade

    That’s a good question, but I can’t answer it without some digging. Looks like the Wholegoods part number for the B2301/2601 40A alternator kit is B7311. Is that the one that is discontinued??? https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b2601-hi-capacity-alternator.44737/ Have you...

    3 point chipper?

    Lower power won’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you can’t do as big or as fast. What are you, about 17hp PTO? Lots of chipper options work well on the 25 horse machines, which are in the 19-20hp PTO range. You’re not that far under… I’d look at a WoodMaxx WM-8H and turn the hydraulic...

    60" Flail Mower for LX2610?

    Happened to run into my buddy last night. He’s not currently using it, but prefers to keep it in case he wants it in the future… Check Woodmaxx’s site. Looks like $2,800 for a 62” and $250 for freight. In stock and ready to ship. I’ve also got a coworker that bought a Betsco flail for his...

    60" Flail Mower for LX2610?

    You’re in CA. I’ve got a friend that just bought the same mower as me for his LX2610 after seeing mine in action. He’s since changed his plans and may not be developing the property that he was going to use it on. I’d be happy to see if he’s interested in selling. We’re in western Oregon...

    60" Flail Mower for LX2610?

    I also use a Woodmaxx 62”, but with the Y blades, behind my B2650. No trouble at all. If I’m mowing heavier things or tall, thick grass, I’ll drop into Low range and run nearby top speed. With shorter grass or more basic brushy mowing, it’s in Medium range fer sure. What is your typical...

    Grass gathering devices

    I hear a lot of chatter about people doubling up on their ZTR blades. Stack two sets in an “X” pattern with at least one set being a mulching type blade. https://www.ballard-inc.com/blades-adapters/x-blade-adapters/?lang=default I’ll be replacing blades soon and think I may give this a...

    I typically mow unknown ground with my FEL bucket pretty low….

    B2650 alternator upgrade

    Nearly a month later and a few times operating at night, everything is still working seamlessly.

    Lawnmower options

    I’ve been very happy so far with my Toro Titan ZT. I did splurge for the MyRide suspension, and can mow my “country lawn” at nearly full clip. Takes 1/2 the time that my 8 year old Husqvarna GT 52 XLS did. That thing had good power, but mowed like crap! The Titan doesn’t care if the grass is...

    B2650 alternator upgrade

    Everything still working as you’d expected after a month? I’ve not heard of anyone having any issues with this install, but figured I’d ask!

    B2650 alternator upgrade

    That video is not something I can take credit for! I found it online when searching for upgrade options, and just shared it for reference. I believe the light still works as it should, because it is illuminated when you put the key in the “Run” position without starting. Also, the tractor...

    B2650 alternator upgrade

    OK fellas. I know this has been done before by others, but wanted to post it up just in case someone isn’t aware and may benefit. There’s no way to sugar coat it. The 14A dynamo on our B2650s is the limiting factor if you have any electrical items that you want to add. Just a few auxiliary...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Ok fellas, it’s been a few weeks because of some vacations and a bit of work travel, but it’s all fixed up now. Removed my OEM auxiliary power source from my lighting circuit and ran a (fused) 12ga pair from the battery straight to my relay. Still using the tail light lead to energize the...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    You lost me a bit here. Now I want to feed my brain… I was under the impression that the watt demand remained constant, but the amperage required to deliver that wattage would vary based on voltage available. For an example, use a load with a wide range of acceptable voltages, like a...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Well, I did all of that except for metering. I know a 15A will hold, but a 10A will blow in a fairly short amount of time. Running, or not.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Yessir! I intentionally inserted “presumed” in my post. I’m absolutely taking their word for it that the numbers are accurate. Only testing would confirm this, which has not been done. You’re also right on about manufacturer’s performance claims. Seems there is little regulation when it...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Not sure. I can’t find anything stating that the actual chips are made anywhere in particular. Just that the lights are handcrafted and assembled in USA.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Apologies if I came across argumentative. I didn’t take your post negatively, and didn’t intend to respond poorly! There is definitely a chance I got the wrong circuit when I put it together! If so, I bet a lot of others have as well. Would love to hear more if there is a 20A circuit...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Having a tough time deciphering these diagrams, but I’m relatively certain I’m on the right circuit. It’s been pretty well documented, on this site and others, that the unused power leads under the right rear fender (photo attached) are typically used for auxiliary lights. It’s just not as...
