MEP-831A - Generator Head Swap?

[AfghanVeteran2010]

I'd be game but before we go down that road we need to verify that the engine is J609B compatible.
Need someone to verify the bolt circle diameter on the 831 as well as the output shaft dimensions.

Alrighty, I'll get those measurements in the morning.

I also took amperage reading when the set is placed in the run position, it peaks at 3.4A and settles to 1.5A.

That's correct just go to eBay they got some 24vac at 8 amp chargers for around 40 buck and they take I'm 100-265 vac. I used these on some mep-003 5kw I built , I'll try to find link!

Keeping the existing charger seems like a bad idea, since it's a hard to find item. Might want to use maybe a battery tender, should run fine as long there is a battery on set. I don't think it would supply voltage with out a battery. Kinda wondering what the amperage draw is when set is on run position. Going to check that soon

Before we get too excited we need to verify if the 831's engine is a J609A, J609B or some other mounting pattern and shaft setup.

j609b I used the 4500 watt from northern tool direct bolt on! I'll take pictures tomorrow! With this gen head it will fit into mep-831 enclosure but you will have to remove inverter,pmg alternator,speed control actuater. And move contactor toward where the inverter was!

It seems they aren't needed now.
According to profo in post #23 the 831 is J609B compliant and the Northern Tools 4.5K is a direct bolt up.
Thank you kindly for the offer though.

Would be an interesting mod for sure...

I guess this is it?
