A Super 88 Diesel has been added to my collection. It has a bad alternator and there is a small unit attached to the alternator. There are no clear markings. Is this a metod to connect the exciter but block it from draining the battery. Any help about what it is and where a replacement can be optained woould be apperciated.

Can you give a better description of the alternator and the box? If you have a defective (leaking) diode it will also drain the battery. As far as the follow up,with the ignition switch this came up a month ago or so, but since you do not have or need an ignition switch if the alternator you have is externally excited, why not hook that wire that is closed by an oil pressure swich. That way as soon as oil pressure builds the alternator kicks in and when you shut the engine off the oil pressure drops and the exciter wire is deengerized. What year Super do you have? are there any numbers on the alternator? How may wires go to the little box and are the terminal(S) marked

There are 4 wires from the box. It is about 1 inch by an inch and 1/2. There is an adjustment pot under the bottom. One wire goes to the battery connection on the alternator one goes to the ground connection the other two are on a plug that goes to the alternator. Could it be a solid state regulator?
Have you put a one wire alternator on any of these trators?

Try the link below it's for ford but it's the same basic wiring for any tractor conversion.

Thanks for your response. The wiring diagram you refer to is for a gas tractor with an ignition switch. This is a Diesel with no switch. I could add one but I think the little box on the alternator that was added will do the same thing. Currently if the plug is left in on the alternator then the battery will eventually be drained. According to the previous owner it was not always like that.

The next step would be either a 1 wire alternator or a seperate switch for the #1 terminal such as a doorbell to activate the alt. Also Genesee [sp] has a diode which prevents back flow for about $6, see the article on this titled "upgrading the super 55 eletrical system"

1 Wire is the way I went. It will be done on Monday. Thanks for all of your help.

Oh by the way the extra little box was a voltage regulator and a cheap one at that.

We had that little box on our tractor too. It also went bad. Then I wired an electronic Ford regulator to the delco alt. Been good ever since. Sure beats the delco point regulators. Done that trick to several delcos.
