trophy160 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm after a 24 petrol generator, the sort of thing that sits on the wings/wheel arch of a Ferret or in my case Saracen. Any idea what name these go by and where I might get one? I also have the option of getting a Kohler Countryman generator - I guess this is far to big and heavy to go on the wings, but are they any good? and does anyone have a photo of one?

Adrian Barrell Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Chorehorse. Post war made by BSA. Not hard to find, usually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy160 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks, were there two models, 12 and 24 volts? I'm guessing they weren't a regulated output so are they OK for battery charging? I've looked in the obvious places but nothing for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked in the obvious places but nothing for sale. The one seen postwar used by British Army is as Adrian said, made by BSA, but it was the WW2 Canadian one which were officially Chorehorses. The BSA came in two versions, a 15 volt and a 30 volt and were known as the 300watt charging set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy160 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks for putting me on the right track all. If anyone knows of one for sale do let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 "Charging Set E.D. 300W 30V (BSA)" is the proper name for the BSA variant. The one that came with my Saracen is a 1960, and I got it running a couple of weeks ago.
