alternator on an A tractor

Charlie M · May 24, 2016

I was wondering if anyone has put an alternator on an A where the generator goes. I'm wondering about its exposure to weather. I'm done with generators and regulators of any voltage. Its a working tractor and I want the charging system to work also. Tractor has a mag so I want to charge the battery and run lights.

I've done one and will be changing over a "C" in the next month . It's not a problem . You can even reuse the gen. bracket.Shoot me an email , I 'll show you some pix ....

I have a delco 10si on my BA which is half B and half A and it does just fine

Have a look at Charlieu website, www.Charliesrepair.com
Has alternator to fit pretty much any old IH tractor, also has wiring diagrams on the site also.

I put a Delco 6 volt alternator on a Farmall B and changed the bottom mount and used the original top by just tweaking it a little. The alternator sets where the old generator and might stick out about 1" farther than generator.

Guys - thanks for the replies. I've put alternators on other tractors like my H and M which are under the hood so my only concern on the A was it sticking out in the weather.

Don't worry about it. Rain and weather get driven up under the hood of your car all the time.

It's still better to keep the tractor under a roof but if you can't you can't.

When I did mine I used the same belt and mounts. It has to be somewhat close to the same position as the generator that way. I used the Hitachi alternator which is a tad smaller than the 10si. My small tractors are under the lean-to so I've never worried much about it.
