Want to put an alternator in place of a generator on a JD 4010. How is it wired and do you use the voltage regulator that is now tied to the generator. I saw one on a 4010 but could not tell how it was wired in.
Tractor is still 24 volt.
Thanks
Gary

You need a 24V isolated from chassis alternator. A standard chassis return alternator will make smoke. The alternator has to have a large + terminal and a large - terminal running charging current to the batteries.

I got a 100amp 12 volt single pole alternator at Jegs for $84.oo and installed it on a J.D. Model 40-w. It has a built in regulator. All I had to do was hook up one wire from the alternator to any positive terminal. I used number 10 wire and hooked it to the starter terminal. I realize this is a lot smaller tractor but the principal should be the same. I hope this helps. Happy New Year..... ..... ..RW

I have a copy of ..Up dating the charger system on your old tractor. It is saved in .doc format.
with pictures. I believe it is small enough to send in email. Write me if you want me to send it to you. Use in subject area.. want charge system ,, so I don't dump it first.

Microsoft word ..works great for it and pictures it has. If for some reason it does not go cause of size. I would split it and send in two emails.

What kind of alternator?

Certain ones MAY have the regulator built in.

If you are using a 24-Volt Motorola, as the later 24-Volt Deeres used, the matching regulator will be mounted to be back of tha alternator OR to a bracket nearby.

In ANY case, the tractor's existing regulator that is left from it's generator will NOT be usable with ANY common alternator.
