Paul:  A couple of days ago Ken Powell was on a search for a lightweight
alternator.  His weights were in the 6 to 8 pound range.  I once had the
Kubota (disel tractor) alternator and the weight seemed to be in the 4 pound
range.

Ken, Might call the dealer there in LR

Lloyd,
Do you remember whether the Kubota alternator used an internal
regulator?  If so, does anyone know how to disarm the internal
regulator?  I had an alternator / wiring harness fire last year in my
car and I am pretty spooked about internal regulators in airplanes.
