I have a Kubota G4200 mower(use on farm) with a bad regulator/rectifier(I think). It has the small permanent magnet 2wire,alternator that is used on a lot of these mowers. My meter shows around 30-32 volts phase to phase on the alternator wires at wide open throttle. Each phase to ground shows 13.5-14 volts at wide open.
One of my questions is: Do these units really regulate voltage much, if at all? Or, do they just rectify the AC? I am only getting 2 volts output of the regulator now at WOT. It has not been keeping the battery up, obviously.
I have not priced one from Kubota yet. I read on the web where someone used a full wave bridge rectifier from Radio Shack to replace this reg/rectifier. Would it need any other electronic components?
Would a rectifier from a Kohler work? This mower only runs 1-2 hours per week, I let a neighbor use it to mow his yard, and kind of keep it as a spare.
Thanks for any help on this,
Garry
