Title: Looking for belt drive head for listeroid
Post by: fuelfarmer on August 18, 2012, 04:11:17 PM
I am looking for a belt drive generator head to run on an 8 hp listeroid. Is the Northern Tool brand any good? I would like to find something that does not run 3600 rpm. We had a 5 or 6 day power outage and the high speed generators just seemed to be a bad idea for long term use. A ST head would be OK, but I am not looking for a wiring project with the need to rebuild half of the unit just to get operational.

The reviews I've read on the HF units are disappointing and they are not very rebuildable. They are 3600 rpm heads too. The ST heads are pretty good once the bugs get worked out. Buy a good one from Central Georgia Generator and you'll be good to go, they also carry the pulley's now too.
