I just bought a 12 volt conversion kit from Yesterdays Tractors. $86 for a new alternator, brackets, resistor/wiring, etc. This for a Ford Jubilee. In the past I have always done my own conversions using Delco or Hitachi alternators. But, the "well is running dry." I am out of old alternators and I am not longer finding the old SI series alternators for $10 at my local junkyard.
So this time - instead of trying to find a Delco somewhere, or a Hitachi from a 80s Subaru - I tried one of these kits from YT Tractor.
Every bit is from China. Alternator is a brand new clone from China and a copy of the Delco 10SI. Even the steel brackets to mount it are from China. I decided to take apart the new alternator to see what it looks like inside. I have to say - the build quality is excellent. I also checked the fit of parts and the OEM Delco parts swap right in. I cannot see inside the solid-state regulator or the rectifiers - but what I see is absolutely excellent. Assembly was great also. All the bolts properly tightened.
So, we'll see. For $86, I think the kit is a bargain. Brand new alternator with charge-specs that exceed the original Delco 10SI. Mounting brackets, wide-groove belt pulley, wire harness and ignition resistor.
So, not a complaint. I am complimenting YT Tractors. Looks like a great parts kit and the price was one of the best I could find.
