110/120 On IH tractor

plow hand · Jul 1, 2018

When I was young I saw an 110/120 outlet on a 856
demonstrator did this option ever take off?or should
I say work properly?

It's not that complicated. All you need is an inverter to convert 12 DC into 110/120 AC.
You can buy an inverter at most any auto parts or camping store.
The wiring is pretty straight-forward.
You can even get a small inverter that plugs into the power port on your car's dash.

I have a 120 volt generator that an old friend gave me before he died. It's IH red, and he said it mounted on the front of an H or M and was spun off of the belt pulley.

I saw this pair at a tractor show a couple of years ago. Generator on the tractor and electric motor on the baler

True, but the small Walmart-type inverters I've tried have burned up when I tried to use an electric motor, for example an electric drill.

I had one of these on a Jeep CJ5 (belt drive off the engine) could operate anything 120v AC up to 35 amps.
Sold Jeep, still have the generator kit in a box on the shelf in the shop.

Don't know if they still have it but for years the local Ford car dealership used one around their lot. I think it was on a 400 Farmall.

IH offered a tractor mounted AC generator. They even had them for 3 phase. IH called it "Electrall" They even had electric ran Balers and such. So instead of a PTO you had a cord with a electric motor on the baler/implement. I never say one of those in use. I do know of several of the Electrall generators. Early back up generators for the farm.

As for the age it was before the *%^ would have came out. The ones I know of would have been on the IH 400 or 450 tractors.

My Dad had something like that on his old F100. I think his was a reworked alternator. You could run a drill or skillsaw off it, which was all he demanded of it.

That?s why you I use it to run a charger for a cordless drill.

I bought a 300 watt inverter years ago, would not light up a 75 wat bulb.

(quoted from post at 11:05:16 07/02/18) I bought a 300 watt inverter years ago, would not light up a 75 wat bulb.

Good inverters are expensive. I had an 1800 watt unit in my work van to charge the computer and run a printer. It was always touch and go if it would stay running, and the cooling fan drew a heck of a lot of juice.
