    WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND?

    Interesting thread that can go on for years like What did you do to your truck today and Bacon.

    For you trailer guys, I came up with something that is pretty cheap to make. I use it on my car trailer winch. The original one was 3.5 HP, but the engine wasn't big enough when running the winch. I got this 6 HP Briggs and rebuilt the generator. I converted an old pressure washer to a gas powered battery charger. When I'm running my winch, it can be for half hour or more. Cheaper than running the truck.

    It's not quite done yet. I have a panel to mount on the lower left for an Ammeter and on off switch.

    Cool idea @Polaraco! Laid back this weekend, mostly just spent time with my wife and kids. Had a small family get together with my wife's family at a local park. Messed around on the camper a bit too.

    Cool.

    Just a couple of tips. Be careful what you use for an alternator. Mine is a 65 amp. I have a bunch of that stuff laying around. With the 3 HP motor, the winch would stall it. This is a rebuild to a 6 HP. Find a pressure washer the pump froze up on. Dime a dozen. I paid 20 bucks for this one. Try to get a old GM alternator with the voltage regulator built in. You'll need to have an on/off switch. It's just a convenience. The more horsepower you have, the more power you can make. I'll show the finished unit to you probably tomorrow

    If you know how to do it, you can mount an external voltage regulator. found this on Rock Auto
