Alternator Bolt Stripped

Hello All,
The alternator has gone out on my 454.
I have been working since before Christmas to
try to get it off. It is a project as it has a loader and had to remove a bracket to access the
alternator. Now everything is loose but the lower
pivot bolt it goes thru a sheild bracket thru the
alternator housing engine housing and has a nut on
the back to hold some type of condenser ?
This bolt seems to be stripped anyone have an idea how to get it out, it turns but tightens up then
loosens and dosent seem to move.
Also it seems someone put a ac delco on innplace of a Lucas alternator.
thanks in advance
Harry
 
Harry - You can dispense with that condenser. It is for RFI (static) surpression when the alternator is installed a vehicle equipped with a radio. Unless your 454 has an AM radio the condenser is unnecessary.

Suggest using either a hacksaw or a 4-1/2" grinder to cut the bolt and replace with new.

You should be glad your tractor now has a Delco alternator. My experience with Lucas electrics on British-built cars and tractors has NOT been good(!)
 
Thanks,
I was wondering about that but wasnt sure if
the bolt was threaded way back or just out on the end . It has about 1/2 inch sticking out from the
engine ( may be the pump housing )
and if it was threaded on in the housing if not you r idea would work and then punch it out the front
Thanks

Bob, I have sometimes heard of Lucas refered to as "The Prince of Darkness".


The joke definatly has a basis in reality, doesn't it? ;)
