Can anyone tell me the proper alternator for a late model 7710 series II tractor? I finally got the time to take off the alternator and have it tested, it is bad. After seeing the wire cluster on the tractor and talking the guy at the electrical shop, I am wondering if I have the correct one? It does mate up to the existing bolt pattern on the tractor, but there are several wires that were not hooked up, with a couple of them looking like factory wires coming out of the pig tail.
The only connections were to the batt terminal and a small spade connector, right next to two larger spade connectors, all three were recessed into the alternator.
He had multiple different numbers in his book, one of which did match up to the alternator in the picture. However, I am fairly certain I have a later model tractor based on some other parts I have replaced. the picture he could find for the last 4 years the model was produced in no way matched the alternator I had.
Also discussed the option of going to a 1 wire Delco set up. It looks like I may need to fab up a bracket if I go that route. Opinions on this welcomed.
thanks,
Evan
