Need some input on buying a Stamford Generator Head

(1/4) > >>

Randybee1:
Hey guys, I have a Kubota D905 engine that I plan to run at 1800 rpm and would like to direct drive a "good" generator head. I'm looking at this Stamford (now Cummings) 8.2 Kw head.
Any Pros/cons with this set up? I actually have 3 ST heads I bought about 10 years ago but I'm thinking this head is way better? Any input appreciated

Yes, those are fine heads.
I have done the same thing with the smaller Mitsubishi engines.

If you search for some of my past posts there are several pics of a build or
two you might get some ideas from.

To add, I machined a hub for.the engine side and used a Lovejoy coupler.
Look on ebay and you can find the couplers.for.a reasonable price.
I also used a Honda radiator and a temp controlled fan and it works great.

I forgot to mention the mounting bracket for the stamford clone heads will flex quite a bit
and I had to add a "brace" from the engine to.tje gen head to keep the coupler spiders from
self destructing.

Randybee1:
Thanks Gary, Appreciate the feedback. I already have the hub mounted and a LoveJoy just setting around waiting for some Love from a Gen head. What/how/why does the Stamford head flex? Are they not mounted to the frame like an ST head would be?
