Alternators are pretty small potatoes in the 'make fit' world.
Make some brackets to stick it on there. If it's got a substantial mount where it could be made to pivot it should be fairly simple. If it doesn't, mount it rigid as it's supposed to be and make a tensioner for it.
This should be a lesson learned about buying internet parts that have a no return policy. If you bought that from a dealer they'd take that back for shame's sake. If they screwed up, they eat the cost. If you screwed up on the part #, they'd probably still take it back and mabey/mabey not charge you a restocking fee...
I've been down that road before. It's one reason why I'm fond of dealing with a couple of dealers who know me and who work to keep me happy.
The 'first time the part didn't fit game' is nothing new with some of these guys either. I was sold an adapter plate for a loader like that a few years ago. It clearly didn't fit my loader properly yet the engineering department of the company continued to insist that it would. We took some time to settle that one. I wasn't going to send it back to them and play the freight game either because I had a guy feeling that they were not going to cover freight. I ended up modifying it to fit and the dealer ate his profit on the deal, or so I suspect because I don't think he got anywhere with the company.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T ... [Read Article]
