Hey Boots,
Here is a link to OldMagnets picture of my 17-a alternator setup. I purchased it from Dana @ Florin Tractor. It's a simple setup, works great. Look at second picture in first post on thread.

In the day I used to see Cats show up at a down town Fresno used parts seller's place with a belt drive set up.Not as neat and clean a set up as pictured but it worked. The generators had been gutted and the shaft sticking out the back end of the case with a pulley and mounting brackets welded to the generator case.The pulley size can be adjusted to get proper speed for your alternator.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
