Does anybody know right off hand how much wattage the magneto produces on a 21 hp Intek Briggs? This would be on a lawnmower without a power take off.
Reason I ask is I'm going to build me a shade cover for my Husquvarna. It already has mounting holes for one, but I'm going to make my own out of some threaded rod and fiberglass.
I would love to mount some sort of fan underneath the cover to blow air on top of me to keep me cooler.
Some B&S engines like push mowers do not even have a magneto.
My Husquvarna does not have a power take off which to me anyway is not really the correct terminology. I always thought a power take off was a driveshaft on a tractor (or small lawn tractor) that runs an implement. Where a power take off on a riding mower is an electromagnet clutch which engages the blades when you pull a knob out instead of using a lever.
I've heard if you blow the engine on a lawnmower with a power take off, if you use a donor engine from another mower, your supposed to use the magneto from the blown engine or find an engine that produces enough current to operate the clutch. Otherwise it will discharge the battery and eventually the blades won't engage. I find it hard to believe an electromagnet clutch would pull that much current. So it must not be that much.
