Alternator has a surprising strain on it when its fully charging,and the bouncing around they take on a tractor doesnt help.most of them off cars and trucks are not meant for the beating they take off road all the time on a vehicle with no suspension.so the mounting has to be heavier.

I have a 841 same engine as the 861 so what do you need to know. I use alternators made for a 1980 Chev pick up no power any thing no AC. a radio shack diode 276-1661 in the excite wire and the mount is simple just a long 3/8 piece of all tread ad set the alternator forward of the bracket and a couple nuts to lock it in place [Reply]  [No Email]
