Bubble machine

Postby Jimerjam » Wed Aug 04, 2021 6:19 pm

so I am the owner of a 1984 farmall cub, the problem is I do not live on a farm, or anywhere near one, the most use that it gets is as a show vehicle, going on small fun excursions through my small neighborhood, it even has a small hosier tractor seat mounted on the rear hydralic lift. Now I was thinking about mounting a bubble machine, and if the easiset way to do that reqires a generator, then a boombox would be nice but not a reqirement

note that I do not know how to weld, I have an extensive toolset, and a limited budget

I would set that up on a heavy cart/ wagon or small trailer and tow it.

I do not think you have a 1984 cub. The last year was 1979.
When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!

A Bubble Machine?? Is this going to be used for kids parties? Is there some other type machine called a bubble machine other than what I am picturing?

I’m sure that’s the type of bubble machine he’s referring to. I think the simplest and least expensive would be a small inverter. I’m guessing the bubble machine would require only minimal current, so an inverter could run off the tractor’s battery or you could bring along a dedicated battery, for the purpose. I’ve done it that way, years ago, when I wanted Christmas lights on my show car for the annual Santa Claus parade.

I could not say tractor when I was 2 years old so I called it Err Err.

I loved this tractor then and I still love it now.

When I started to read what Jimer was talking about the inverter was exactly what I was thinking about. And probably the cheapest way to go.

And Welcome to the forum Jimer. I think you will find a lot of information here.

Good luck with your project.

Let's see if we can figure this out.
Is this the type of Bubble Machine you were considering? 25watts shouldn't be difficult to make.

If your cub has been converted to 12v, just use an inverter.

If your cub is still 6v, something like this might help convert the 6v to 12v.

to answer your questions, no it does not use a 12 volt system, It has an original magneto
