Thanks, I'll check it on a day when it's not raining. The dash looks very similar. I did find an article from Lblevins on Orange Tractor Talks on replacing the alternator with a one-wire Denso, which looked very simple.

Thank you, Russell; that is useful information. I'll look. Could you give me an idea of what size regulator to look for? Is it 1x1, 2x2, or round- just a guess?

Don't have any manuals. This is a grey-market tractor that I got when my dad passed away 15 years ago. He had it for nearly 20 years. I would charge the battery in the spring, till the garden a few times, and it would sit till the next year. I'm going to send it my son's way and would like to...

I am new to orange tractor talks but not new to this tractor. I want to convert my alternator from a 4 pin alternator to a 3 pin. What should I do?
