Hello all,
I posted this awhile back and got a welcome from Mr. Royse (meant to reply and say thank you, I do not post much, read most
everyday and started coming here about 1997 or so).

I have an alternator kit on my 4000 that I installed 15 years ago or so and I am in the process of splitting the tractor,
fixing seals, new paint and all the odds and ends that seem to stack up over the years. I never felt real good about my
alternator install. The belt pulley is not perfectly aligned with the fan pulley and crank, so I want to square that away.
Wanted to see if any one was willing to take a pic or three of their install and see if I can see a better way.

Thank you all,
Geortge
 
For others who aren't following your posts you should always mention this is a 3 cyl 4000. I looked through my photos and this is the only one I have.
Doesn't help much I suppose.
I made the bracket.

Thank you for posting. It is better than nothing and looks solid. Hard to tell in the picture, do you have a good alignmnet with the other pulleys? Any bolts I try are a bit sloppy in the hole and I need to find a bushing to take up the space. The bracket I have come in the kit with the tach attachment.

Yes, thanks for the reminder, 73' 4000 diesel, 3cyl of course.

Thanks again,
George
 
Yes the alignment is pretty good.
When I built this bracket I bolted the long
part of the bracket onto the engine. Then I
bolted the two ears to the alternator. Then
I took a short piece of 1x3 board and
clamped it to the hood. And used a big clamp
to clamp the alternator to the board. Got it
aligned just so and tacked the ears in
place.
Then I took it all apart and full welded it
prime and paint. Took me all one afternoon
monkeying around but it came out good. I
used a piece of rope between the pullys to
estimate the length of the belt but it still
took a couple of trips to the hardware store
to get the right belt.
I wanted the alternator to tuck under the
hood as close as I could.
 
Glad to see you're still with us on the forum!
I still don't have a 3 cylinder 4000 though.
Looks like UD has some good pictures of his setup. :)
