I was trouble shooting the non-advancing hour meter on my 5500N yesterday. Following the Technical manual instructions, I got to the step to verify alternator output- had battery voltage at the big lead and also at the IG terminal with KOEO. When testing at low idle, I had no voltage at the L terminal, which feeds the hour meter and charge indicator light. I do not have a charge indicator light lit in either condition. The tech manual says voltage regulator failed, replace alternator.
This seems reasonable, I guess. The battery has been staying charged and the other electrical items seem to function correctly. I did not take a voltage reading at the battery while it was running.
I can get a reman on prime for under a hundred, or on flea bay for $125, or from the dealer at $461. There is also a package on theBay for a replacement voltage regulator and brush holder/brushes combo for $35. Assuming no obvious issues in the alternator (bad bearings etc) I'm thinking it can't be too hard to swap out VR and brushes, can it?
I reposted this here after no response on the JD forum, hoping to catch a couple of the experts who might not dig into each manufacturer board.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
