MF 50 generator?

Helping a friend work on his MF 50. Got the generator to put out by providing a path for the current in the field winding to go to ground.

Now here is where I"m running in to a problem. Person claims he has a MF 50. YT shows MF 50 having alternators, not gennerators. His genny has a place to connect the tac cable.

The voltage regulator Rural King sells has just 2 coils. His voltage reg has 3 coils.

There are no numbers on his voltage reg to identify it. It is a delco regulator. The top coil appears to be the voltage coil that should provide ground for the field winding, which it isn"t doing.


Where are the serial # located so I can look up the year and actual model. He says it has a 134 engine and is a MF 50. I"m wondering if it couldn"t have a MF 35, which there are voltage regulators for gennys and alternators.

So, did they put gennies on MF50? Where are the serial #?

Thanks in advance,
George
 
I have never seen a M.F. 50 with a factory installed alternator.

The serial number should be on a plate riveted to the dash on the left side of steering wheel.

The spec. for the regulator on a M.F. 65 is a Delco Remy 1118981. However, I do not know if the 50 used the same regulator.
 
Eric,
Thanks for the delco #. Was able to go to ebay and get the terminal ID.
Terminal ID: Light-Battery-Field-Armature on Bottom of Regulator (underneath)

This should help a lot. The terminal on the left has an L stamped on it. Who would have thunk the armature terminal is on the underneath?

Many thanks to all.

Thanks,
Don't know why YT parts doesn't show a genny, only an alternator.
Definately working with a MF50 with a Z134. Pics show it has a genny, not alternator.
