3000 Alternator converstion

1. The instructions say to connect wires A,B&B from the regulator (There is none labled A)
2. The belt from the old generator is too small to fit around the new alternator. No belt was included. What belt would I use?
3. The tach drive came out of the old generator at a 90 degree angle (up). the new alternator tach drive comes straight out, which means it would need to go straight into the exhaust manifold.
4. I can't find any place to mount the belt tensioning arm where it doesn't interfere with the fan fins on the alternator.
5. In order to fasten the new alternator to the new mounting bracket, I need a different bolt and also a bushing. (neither were included).

So, I ended up needing about $20 of additional parts to mount the new kit. The only thing I have found is that the fuel gauge doesn't work now (it used to work, but would only go up to 1/4 tank when full). I plan to do some figuring to see if I can get it to work, too. Thanks to all who gave me advice on this!

I'vr installed three of Tisco's alt. conversion kits on my thousand-series tractors (including a 3000 like yours. You're right that the instructions aren't very clear, but I found the install straightforward.

There are two ways the mounting brackets can be installed, but the only bolt you should need to change is the long bolt holding the two parts of the new bracket together, and it's included in the kit.

Take your old belt, pull it around the pulleys, and measure the gap. Take that measurement and your old belt to Napa or any parts house, and they'll find the new belt for you.

The Tisco kit is the only kit that has the alt. proofmeter drive on it - it spins correctly for your application (it ain't backwards) - it fits close to the manifold, but it will still work.

Good luck - these really are good conversion kits.

If I can help further, or e-mail you pics of my conversions, let me know.
