I have a 1976 140 that came from the factory with an alt and the mounting bracket on it is really differnat. I thought about checking it out and see if it would work on a SA. It might solve a lot of problems when people try to convert to the alt. The alt also came with a cover that protects it, kind of a shroud with mesh wire in the front. I had told Hugh one time that they had cut the fan shroud but after I checked it out more and saw another one just like mine I concluded it must have came that way.

You know they also changed the tie rods, rockshaft arms, pressure rods for the cultivators, and the mounting pads for the cultivators. Little minor changes but sometimes makes a big differance.

Yep, the one shown in your second image is the mounting bracket (#31077) my 1948 SA has. It is also the one shown in the operators manual I have for the SA. I have also seen this same one on other SA's but dont know the dates of the tractors. The image I used was the one that Keith had of his bracket that was hosted at imageshack. Keith said his SA was a 1948 as well and had an alt on it so I suspected his old mounting bracket was used because it worked fine with just a longer bolt.

As Hugh stated there were minor changes made during the production and I guess this mounting bracket was one of the changes. But I'll stick by what I know and that in 1948 they used the old kind of bracket like on the A. When the change was made I have no idea.
