Immediately put it to work, fixed a grape vine (used it to pull and straighten the posts while I attached cross braces), moved an old burn barrel, moved brush and leveled a dirt pile.
Hope 1 works for you if not any ideas?The OEM alternator has broken windings and no parts available. I stopped by the alternator shop today and the owner gave me 1 new and 1 old core to try. I was tied up in traffic getting there, I called and he waited for me, I arrived after they closed. I love to deal with small companies.
Nope, winging it. I think 1 will work.Hope 1 works for you if not any ideas?
I had to reverse the top bracket so it will slide on the block and not the alternator, added a space using a longer bolt and need to find a shorter belt, the alternator he has will work perfectly.

Will then be upgraded to a 40 AMP alternator from a 15 AMPHope 1 works for you if not any ideas?
