I was wondering if anyone out there know's where to get the alternator conversion bracket for a older d8h, or if some one has a picture or drawing of one, so I can get an idea of what one looks like so I can make one.

Not handy to you but I believe "Florin Tractor" in Ca. stocks them, they are a bit pricey but built right with cooling fan and flex coupling. You will need to have the gear train and drive gear as that's not part of the package.

I like that option,
I have access to a burnt d8, so I might scoop the generator from it and try to build one just like the pic

The one thing I don't understand is the 1 wire alternator, is that a new thing out?
I sure appreciate the help guys

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
