Have to set it there to plow.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm hoping someone else has delt with problem before I buy belts hope it works.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I did this on my 2n. easy to do with a bolt and pulley with a bearing, and a couple set key stop collars from tractor supply. Probably about 20$ of parts in all...   [Reply]  [No Email]

Now if you could explain the 2 spade connectors on an alternator, I would mail you a chistmas card.   [Reply]  [No Email]

IE.. make up a 4" jumper wire with a ring terminal on one end, and a female spade onthe other end, and plug the spade to #2, and put the ring terminal on the big charge lug on the back of the alternator.. the same one that runs out to your battery/solenoid/ammeter.. etc. #1 is a lil more special. it needs to be run thru a diode or small trailer marker lamp and to the 'coil' side of the key switch. ie.. the side of the key switch that also feeds the coil. if you went the diode route, radio shack 276-1661 or 276-1141 will work. genericall, a 1n5408 DIODE WILL WORK AND IS VERY BEEFY. these diodes will generally have a black or solid colored body, and a stripe on one end.that is the cathode.. that stripe goes toward the #1 terminal . if you don't want to mess with a diode.. find a lamp holder that has a 194 bulb in it.. runt he 194 bulb inline with the #1 terminal and the key side of the key switch. when you turn the key on, the lamp will lite up.. when the engine starts and you get her to about 500rpm, the lamp will go off as the alternator starts to charge. this is a classic 'idiot' lamp setup. soundguy   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm not sure what people find intimidating about a coupl effet of extra wire and a 194 lamp bulb ??? soundguy   [Reply]  [No Email]
