MOUNTING (Forget The Alternator Brand Or Style) J-180

PAD MOUNT

Is This Your Alternator?

If *YES* count the rectifiers. 6 in the case and there will be six on the positive heat sink. This makes it a different animal. A much newer series of LN, and far less likely to have a zillion miles on a reman. Still, it would be better to have yours rebuilt. Tell the rebuilder that in the unlikely event our alternator would need a different rotor or stator you want NEW not rewound. Reman rotors and stators lose a large majority of their low speed amperage capability. A maximum of ONE MILLIAMP reverse diode leakage at 200 volts which meets new rectifier design specs.
The pad mount brand new 200 amp Leece Nevlle is a thousand dollar list price, unit.
