Update - I suspect I was mistaken that the two posts to the right of the field connection on the new alternator were both ground points. They differ in their connections to the body. But I do not know which is the ground and what the other post is for (probably orange wire?). Moving the post for the orange wire from the old alternator is not feasible. I should look more closely first.
I need to replace the old alternator on my 2030. This alternator is Deere part number AT21618 (picture below). There is green paint over-spray on the wiring which is a bit confusing but original wire colors are visible and wires are attached correctly.
The replacement from Yesterdays Tractor (part number 115849; picture below) does not have a post for the orange wire and has, I believe, 2 ground posts. Yesterdays Tractor does not include a wiring diagram with the alternator, hence this post seeking help.
Where should I attach the orange wire? This goes to the alternator lamp on the dashboard. I could attach as indicated by the circuit diagram below but the new alternator does not have the dual nuts present on the output and ground posts.
Another option would be to move the post for the orange wire from the old alt to the new (there is a threaded hole in a similar position on the new alt) but I do not know if this is correct and would work.
thank you
