Brian: 3 of those 6 alternators are GM cars and truck. The other three are Super A, 130 and 140. On those 3, I use double V pullies off older V8 GM engines. Without going to shop to measure I would judge those to be 2 to 3 inch pulley. I also use a push button type starter switch to excite alternators, rather than follow Bob's diagrams with light, etc. The push button switch can not be accidentially left on, thus no problems with back feed when tractor is not running.

My first experience with alternators on these tractors was my 6 volt SA. Auto electric rebuilder suggested the push button, and I have been quite happy with it. At time I had a new 6 volt battery, he changed Delco 10SI alternator to 6 volt, even suggested the double V pulley would work better on SA for alternator placment. He supplied me with wiring diagram and the switch. That was 1992 and everything is still intact, including that same 6 volt battery. First time I ever came close to 13 years on a battery. I usually consider half that time to be good here in Canada. I do notice the battery slowing a bit. SA fired right up last week at 25F, first time it had been going since Christmas. I can't knock the system, so used the same on my 12 volt systems on 130 and 140.
