Picked up a used Kohler K582 out of a Bobcat 540. Going to transplant it into a Bobcat 520. Engine has 4 wires coming from under the flywheel (2 black & 2 red) indicating a 30 amp charge system. Engine did not include the OEM externally mounted rectifier/regulator. The 30 amp system was phased out and parts are nearly impossible to find or extremely expensive.
I have a 15 amp stator (2 wire) from an 18 hp single cylinder K series. Would it fit the K582? If so, I could get a 15 amp rectifier/regulator which is cheaper and readily available. Are the 15 amp and 30 amp flywheels the same?
Otherwise, anyone have any suggestions on where to find a 30 amp rect/reg or know of an alternate I could use? There isn"t enough room to add an auto type alternator.
