Generator to Alternator - Tractor Talk Forum - Yesterday's Tractors- 3 wire alternator replacing generator on old diesel tractor trailer ,202214·Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2022 8:00 pm Post subject: Re: Generator to Alternator. the early GM alternators used the external regulator , like in 1964 to early 70's. after they had built in regulators. but i thought that the 606 used an alternator and it will have the separate regulator.Video: Generator to Alternator Conversion – Moss Motoring1 Although they both make alternating current, AC, they differ in how they convert that current to the direct current, DC, that our cars use DC. 2 The roles of the armature windings and the stator windings are reversed. 3 Generators use external regulators. Alternators usually use internal regulators.
20171217·Problem is a true 3 wire 10si will work as a 1 wire if you rev it up enough to get the regulator to leak enough to start the charging process. So people use or make do with a 3 wire in place of a 1 wire. …

This article addresses the electrical adaptation of a modern alternator to an older tractor. I reference the Delco alternator used in most GM late 70’s cars and trucks with a 350 cu. in. V8 engine. (Type #GM 10 SI, Model 7127, Cost is roughly $35), but nearly all internally regulated alternator’s have the same output wiring. I used a Datsun ...
If you use any 24 volt 3010-20 or 4010-4020 long enough you would change your mind about that.We only have one 4020 left with 24 volt and a generater and it will be changed as soon as it gives any problem.Yes a …

(3)-The old generator & regulator should be removed, and [ if so equipped] remove the ignition switch and light switch power feed wire [L] wire that ran to the old regulator’s [L] terminal. The ignition switch and light switch feed wire(s) should then be hooked directly to the [NON] battery side of the ammeter, the old [L] wire going forward to the old regulator …
20101025·My 1964 Massey Ferguson 135 diesel has a one-wire Delco alternator. Here's the wiring diagram I made when I disassembled the tractor for restoration. You have to run the engine up to 1800 rpm or so to polarize the alternator get it to start charging the battery--one of the peculiarities of the one-wire alternator. Good luck with your project.

Our custom built 1 wire tractor alternator for 12V systems is your life savor not to mention, time savor because, with our alternator there is no need to rev up the throttle to get the alternator to charge. 12V up to 60 Amps. Low Activation RPM. Low Parasitic Drain. Charges immediately.
The wire that connects to the N on the alternator is reading 7.9 v while connected to alternator and tractor running. Tractor is only putting out 12.6 from the alternator. I used the tractor all day today shutting off the motor approximately 6-8 times and its given me no problems and starts fast.
2 wire alternator wiring diagram. A 2-wire alternator has three connections, the first being the ground. This connection is also called the output connection. It allows power to flow through the alternator and other components of your car. The second connection is the positive (possibly fuseable) terminal and is connected directly to the battery.

Recently I replaced the Generator with an Alternator, and all the wiring, but I have run into a snag. The instrument panel is shot and judging by the amount of rust for some time.
The BATT terminal on the alternator is the "Charge Line" so to speak It will carry the high amp output. That wire goes to the plus side of the Ammeter or, the Regulator depending on what you have. The neg side of the ammeter should have the BATT line from the Starter/Battery. Wire size is important as Larry Beard has warned.
These two stator wires connect to the AC – and AC + terminals on the rectifier/regulator. The rectifier/regulator converts the alternating current into a direct current and is fed out of it through the terminal marked B+. This …
