Heres where the fun starts.Talk to man about returning item whice is find but this is the first time this has happend with a alternator not fitting this model tractor. I call 5 or 6 MF Dealers in my area a few out of state they all find 240MF alternators for this tractor but with three ears.I have gave them the Tractor serial # 560627 they find all the infor. on tractor but when they need the alternator # whice is a Perkins LR150-191 (12v50a)3 wire plug. thats the end of the road they can't cross ref. this part.Called a few tractor places that rebuilds Alt.I was told that alternator is probly a lucas alteranator stamped w/ Perkins name and that they might be able to rebuild it.Might.Going to put in URL link w/ pictures of alt hope link works. http://s468.photobucket.com/albums/rr41/smithsphoto/ Can someone tell me why I'm having such problem w/ getting a alternator for a 240MF or some type of part number where I can track down this alternator?So far I've come closer to seeing bigfoot in my back yard then finding the two eared perkins alternator.If anyone has any ideas or answers to this problem please let me know.
