The alternator is connected directly to the fan in a cowling so not as simple🤔 but not had a proper look if another one can be fitted🤔
this is what the engine looks like only a 4 cylinder
Longer belt and a bracket to fit alternator. Just need to move bonnet back a further 6 inch again 🤣🤣 or cut a hole in it for alternator to poke through 😜

Yes you can just see the back of the alternator if you remove the side cowling may have a proper delve tomorrow if I get time
as for spending money on it I have a very tight budget basically the trailer it came on is going to fund it so stuck it on the bay to see what happens

You can jump start a 12v vehicle from a 24 volt one so you can run your 12v dash from battery's and have 2 switches one for dash and one for starting

Can the starter not be reworked to spin the same speed on 12V ?

That’s a long time ago😳 Sean’s machine I think, never did have a play on it though😢

but back to the job in hand🤔 now I thought the Perkins was a tight fit😳 this fecking think is massive compared to it🤪, had to leave 2 bolts out of the bell housing (still 8 left though😉) to clear the hydraulic oil tank🤫

but made a bit of room the other end by cutting the radiator in half😳 only need the oil cooler part👍

hope the starter doesnt let me down as their is no way that’s coming out without a fight

I’ve had to leave this full 2” gap😯 so the engine can be inserted and removed (hope it’s not coming out again😳)

Now I removed this engine about 3 years ago (nearly sold it a couple of weeks ago) and hasn’t been started since then but stuck my booster pack on and it went first touch (thank gawd 👍) so well pleased with it so far😉
just need to wire it up to the dash and fit a new battery tray, the exhaust and air filter will need a bit of adapting again but in the main 👍

No not really, I like a challenge😳 and with all this talk of what 5 tonners can and can’t lift thought I’d better up my game a bit to get my scrap 4.5 tonner to out lift the lot of them😂😂
trouble is it’s not going to look stock with this lump in as the engine is a lot bigger😳
I’ve had to do this today

yes cut the whole back end off😩
Erm you can’t come anymore it’s going to weigh in at 10 tons and have 20tonner lift rams on it by times your done 🤪

New project for you. 😜

What a pile of crap I’d be embarrassed to take it as scrap on my trailer😳 would have to go in a curtainsider to save face😂😂


So onto today’s disaster dropped a piece angle iron out of the vice which caught the handle of my mug and took it clean off which then dropped on the floor and shattered😢
So had to improvise

the angle iron was to make another battery ‘box’ as need two now to start the engine managed to ‘find’ a small car battery which holds a charge and a place on the machine which won’t interfere with the cooling

thought I’d show an interior shot😉 quite tidy inside🤔 shame it’s going to get covered in broken glass soon😢😢

and finally it’s alive again👍👍 tracked it out from under me shed on tick over result😉 (the Perkins needed to be flat out to move and would still pull the engine down to a stall) and without a whiff of smoke👍
Just stuck the corner weights on to see what I’m up against to ’fill the gap’

Yes sold it today👍 It’s going to need retracking soon as one of the steel inserts is escaping so keeping an eye out for some steel tracks the wider the better👍 would like 5-600 wide
Slacken the tracks off a bit you'll get a bit longer out of them 🤣
