Well I cannot work on the loader bucket and am limited to lifting weight and needed something to occupy my hands.
I have a mill and lathe so set off to update the old gals electrical system. I have finally tired of recharging batteries after use.
I have a donor machine so stripped a generator mount from it last year, also purchased a eBay 24v single wire alternator and appropriate sized pulley that should last a while for my usage.
Cut down the old mount with the mill at both ends, then cross drilled what used to be 3/8" mounting bolts for a 1/2" cross bolt pivot. Once I am fully released for work again I can finish the loader and then as I have the bucket off replace these. Will have to roll the hard nose for access.
