6341 alternater

[lord_elfinwood]

Hi The alternater on my 6341 is scrap! i need a new alternater but not going to pay the 170 pounds everyone seems to want for one!
WHY??? it costs 35 pounds for an alternater for my David Brown! i want to know where to get a cheaper alternater, i don,t mind if the revcounter does not work. I was thinking there most be a lucas alternater that will fit even if i have to modify brackets and wiring . I just refuse to pay the rediculas price of 170 pounds.

I,m thinking a ford pinto one should fit?

Who have you tried for an alternator?

 

[lord_elfinwood]

local auto electricians, motor factors, ebay and zetor dealer. i,m really thinking 35 pound lucas unit and do with out the revcounter.

i put a lucas one on my 6711 and its works a treat. had to use the pulley of the original though and mod the bracket with a few spacers on the bolts to make sure the pulleys lined up, but it works!
edit: just remembered i also had to fit an additional 'charge' lamp and bypass the regulator, and a spot of rewiring.

Lucas LRA101 unit fitted, took 40 minutes to fit including modifying it to fit, cost 43 pounds in total much better than 170 pounds!

I once fitted the cheapest ISKRA for 50 euro. It took a couple of months to fail from new. Now using an original Magneton for 120 euro and i havent looked at it again in years.

Fitted the same type of Lucas unit to my Case digger 8 years a go and it,s still working just as it should.
