Lou - in future go to Hurley Gun Parts or Numeric (sp?) as they have many diagrams and very helpful staff. May save you some time.
Now on to a similar scenario but this about using alternate parts. As we all know many parts are made in different configs from a few manufacturers. I recently aquired an Oliver RC77 that have been converted to 12V with the obligatory Delco Remy (DR) 10si 1 wire alternator.
Issue now is that the side panels no longer fit without modification. As panels are original I did not want to cut them up or modify so I began the search for a compact 1 wire alternator with sufficient voltage.
Immediate reaction from many was DR is the only one making a 1 wire alt. and the GM is the standard. Digging further I have found Isuzu reefers (on 18 wheelers) use one, Kubota uses one as did the John Deere 3020. Niether Isuzu nor Kubota will share dimensions or manufacture unless I buy the alt. As we all know there are NO RTNS ACCEPTED ON ELECTRICAL PARTS so I was not going to spend $$ just to get dimensions.
Premiliminary investigation suggests the JD alt. will fit. Now imagine the horror and outright disgust I have received trying to find a JD alternator to mount on 1951 Oliver RC 77 so I can keep side curtains. Cant believe some of the tractor police screaming sacriledge etc.
Tractor has already been upgraded to 12v 1 wire I just want to have the side curtains mounted to have it look original at first blush. Seriously doubt someone is going to be able to identify if I have a JD alt. on it or some other brand.
