WHAT is "absolute nonsense" about what I posted?
YES, alternators are commonly driven clockwise, and if you stop to figure it out, the RH thread nut is in contact with the clockwise-rotating pulley, having a tendency to keep it tight, rather that to loosen it.
What's nonsense about that???
What you describe only happens in Obamma land. What I described is the real world, the world in which you could leave the nut completely off and the pulley would still slip. In fact, you could have one of the rare reverse rotation marine engines and your tractor would STILL be in reverse. The only way to change this odd happenstance is to change the rear wheels side-to-side so that the traction tires face the opposite direction.
Ok, you got me. I was thinking of the comparison to Corvairs. They DO rotate the oppostite direction, but they STILL USED a right hand thread nut and no key. The fact is that if they are properly tightened, they will not slip. Part of this proof is in the activity I used to engage in--drag racing. The incredibly fast change in engine RPM's up and down has not resulted in a rash of loose Delco nuts over the last 40 some or whatever years.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
