Re: Alternator pulley install

I am wondering if anyone has ever installed an alternator with a pulley running off of the drive shaft? I was going to fab up a v-belt pulley that would clamp around the driveline. obviously it would only charge when you are moving,but it would do the job!! Just curious if it has been done and if so how it worked out? The reason I ask is because my motor doesn't have another place to put an accessory pulley.

Re: Alternator pulley install

I think UTV craps setup runs off the stator side of the engine. If you do lots of water riding I would not recommend the alternator idea. IMOO

I have not seen it for UTV use but have seen them on stock cars back in the 1990s and it did work well as long as you kept going down the road, The trick would to make sure that you set up the pulleys so the alternator is at max output under your normal driving speeds but make sure you do not over RPM the rated design of the alternator at maxs speeds.
