Good to hear you went with the B and S motor. My Kohler motor based one was pretty awful.

Got a decent deal.on this one. Under a grand for a 15.5hp B&S motor and 42" fully adjustable deck. With free shipping.

I had 15 hp bs motor in a mower form a certain tractor supply and the first one ate shit in 12 hours. I strongly suggest the air filter be checked for possible leaks and I even went as far as to toss it and make my own from UNI foam. BS said it was dirt ingestion... I also ran it (second motor) around for a day pulling a cart and just driving it as much as i could doing chores then changed oil and filter with 1.5 hours on it... that one lasted 2.5 seasons before it barely used any oil. It mowed 5 acres of lawn from March to mid September roughly 14 hours a week

I owned a snapper, first lawn tractor, was great, couldn't kill it. I sold it with the house.......should of kept it.

Replaced the snapper with a 67 wheel horse. Then replaced the boat anchor tecumseh with a HF special

Got 40 of these bad boys fresh in stock.

MOSFET regulator / rectifiers.

For? KZ1000? I just got a cheap one but what the heck.

Mike I keep telling my wife that it's the riding mower that messed up my back and not the motorcycles. Be careful on that hardtail mower.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON mobile app

Should've invested in pavement instead of a mower.

I agree 100% Mowing should be less than 30 minutes a week

Two questions:

What's the difference between your r/r and the MOSFET?

Which one makes you more money?

I need to buy one and I'll let you choose which one I get

Should fit most years. Let me know your year and I'll check.

MOSFET is generally a better quality of R/R. They respond to voltage changes better and regulate the voltage more closely to their target specification. They also generate less waste heat.

It's sort of like comparing modern transistors to old vacuum tubes. The new stuff is better in most ways.

I make more per unit on the MOSFETs but the markup on our own brand of R/R (based on older thyresistor technology) is better.

76 I like the MOSFETS for the new batteries may not make a huge diff, but any insurance for a big dollar electrical system is good.

It's funny, but I got two emails yesterday from MOSFET suppliers and one offered free spring clips for the heat sink and the other has a new heat transfer that looks like pink double sided tape... they actually think you will pick a winner buy what you can get free haha!

Are those a series rr or shunt?

Depends on what you're talking about. When it comes to sound, a vacuum tube is far superior. If you're basing a transistor's superiority on low cost, size, and low power consumption then sure, but in the case of sound production the disadvantages far outnumber the advantages. If it weren't for the ability to mass produce them for next to nothing and our need to have things as small as possible or mobile, then we'd still be listening to music through tube amplifiers. And while a transistor is more durable from the perspective of abuse, a vacuum tube can much better handle voltage spikes or overloads. Transistors have virtually zero tolerance for such things. So, if the sound really matters then you will go with vacuum tubes.

As far as I know, all regulators for permanent magnet alternators are of a shunt type. How the power gets shunted is the difference between MOSFET and Thyresistor, however.

Tubes vs transistors, still debated in hifi circles. Here is a ste you might find interesting, deviant; http://www.space-tech-lab.com/ .

Very awesome site. Yeah, I think that debate will never go away. Some things can be scientifically proven, some cannot.

When science can't prove it, actuaries will BS you into believing their numbers!

Deviant, I built my own speakers and amplifiers, sounds great.
