Is there a bracket or kit he can buy to aide with the install of this alternator? As long as we are on the subject- Will a Delco alternator replace an alternator on a 3600? [Reply]   [No Email]

I called the number and found out the seller is only a few miles from me. Small world. I also saw the Delco brackets sold here- $39. [Reply]  [No Email]

It's pretty rare that they will cut in as well as a 3 wire but give what you got a try and if it don't work, some 1 wires can be hooked up 3 wire to improve cut in. And if all else fails just change the regulator. HTH Mike [Reply]  [No Email]

Start the tractor and let it warm up for a few minutes. By the time I hop on and give it a little throttle to drive and it starts charging, no need to rev the engine much over idle. The "kit" I bought included a different size pulley though... [Reply]  [No Email]

Why? 'cuz you haffta jazz yer COLD engine to about 2000-rpms before the internal solid state gutts gitt turned on. Me? I don't like jazzin' a COLD engine, do you?. Yeah, you'll still haffta jazz the HOT engine too. The 3-wire alternator conversion starts chargin' at about 700-rpms. (1/3-throttle?) And besides the 3-wire conversion has an "idiot light" to help determine whether the engine is running. Unfortunately, the idiot lite is also necessary so you can turn the engine OFF. ........Dell, a 12V advocate for the right reasons, who knows 8-ways to convert to 12V and they ALL work the first time [Reply]  [No Email]

I purchased a one-wire from DB Electric (who also has the bracket), and it charges from idle on up. No need to rev the engine. This post was edited by flyingace at 14:37:16 02/04/13.

And while 12-volt batterys are stout and will continue to start and operate most tractors, eventually you will haffta RECHARGE the 12-volt battery 'stedda' letting the engine run alternator do it. ........nuff said, eh? ........respectfully, Dell [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd leave it in place as a wireing point.. 1 wire would not be my choice.. 3 wire would.. or even one with the tach drive.. they cost more though.. [Reply]  [No Email]
