Im late getting in on this BUT I bought the alternator conversion kit from YESTERDAYS TRACTOR over a year ago for around $150.00++ but didn't start installation until recently thinking YT knew what they were selling would fit or they would know how to make it fit WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!
I would think someone in the business for as long as they have been would have run into this situation before.
My 1950 TO20 has a Z120 engine conversion for the TO30 Z129 with 2-1"×2" protusions for mounting the generator that are untapped on my engine. Neither bracket sold by YT will fit without modifications.

I have never seen the aftermarket bracket for the Z120 to mount an alternator. Are you saying the Z129 gen mounting stubs get in they way of the Z120 bracket?

If it where me, I would drill and tap the Z129 generator mounting points on your block and use the Z129 bracket.

That"s what I want to do BUT the tie rod and Axel brace and
bucket hydraulic are in the way of the drill. If there is a mount that would attach at the old spot it would be easier.
I tried to take Axel brace off but bolt won"t come out because brace is tweaked.
Thanks anyway.
