I should have mentioned that they switched alternators. The original Kubota alternator has a separate generator. They switched to an AC Delco with a built-in generator...so I guess the wiring reflects that.

Thank you.

If you turn the key on my tractor nothing happens. No lights. The battery is fully charged. On one occasion I was putting the battery cable back on the battery and there were sparks. Could I Have zapped something? I replaced the fuses. The fuses are confusing because they are very hard to...

I thought it was odd that it didn't come with a nut on that bolt.

I bought a new alternator. The top bolt (on the new alternator) that connects to the slide adjuster (Sorry no idea what the official name is) will not loosen. The bolt isn't long enough to get a nut on it. Will it come off with an air wrench? Thanks for your help.

I think that’s my best option. I don’t know what I don’t know about the wiring and other parts. Thanks

They have aftermarket regulators available. Would it be worth it to get one and use the 3 wire alternator?

Thank you, Dave. I appreciate it.

Thank you all so much. I'm going to go with a Delco. I appreciate all of your help.

Old clip…

Old alternator

I am replacing the alternator on my Kubota M4050. The old alternator had posts marked 1 &2. The replacement is marked E F & N. How do they match up? Thanks.

I have owned the tractor for less than a year. It’s hard to know if it’s original or not…but I get your point.
