Brushless Generator/Alternator questions

[cdray]

Hi guys,
This is my first post. I have really enjoyed searching through the wealth of information here.
Does anyone have any feedback on the brushless units Tom at centralgagenerator.com sells? I have a older welder with a 44 HP Deutz air cooled diesel engine. The Aux. power is rated at 10KW continuous but it is a induction generator and has poor voltage regulation. I was considering modifying it to a generator only. I have been dealing with Deutz air cooled engines for years, and they just run forever with very little maintenance. I'm pretty sure it has a SAE bell housing, but I haven't checked yet.. I think it would be a very reliable setup.
Just looking for some feedback/ideas.  I've got a $1000.00 in the whole rig, plus it's trailer mounted. Keep the good info coming. Thanks, David

They are very good units. I visited Tom a few months ago ad I seen them up close and I was very impressed. Another thing is Tom is a great guy and his customer service is excellent. He takes care of his customers. His parts inventoty is Huge so chances are he will have replacement parts in stock.
