Hey thanks Rickycotte. I'm sorry I didn't get those pics off my camera today. I will for sure post them tomorrow.

I think it was a 3/4" pipe diameter, just what ever fit over the bolt, the diameter size wasn't really important. I took some pics, but I haven't had a chance to get them off the camera yet. I will try to do it tonight. It wasn't a problem to drill out the existing pulley. 7/8" was the...

Diverman said he wound up putting a new regulator on his alternator. That must have fixed the problem for him. Wiring diagrams are in the TM section, appendix H.

Okay, got the new alternator in. Worked out great. Got the old pulley off and drilled it out to 7/8". Thanks Chuck for that measurement. Wound up just putting a 2" piece of pipe as a spacer on the back of the alternator to tie in to the lower bolt hole on the existing bracket. Very solid...

Thanks Chuck, yeah I kind of figured it out. Found this: http://www.newindo.com/pdf/1G286.pdf Goes in to a lot more detail about the alternator. You might be interested in it.

So the small wire that comes off the original alternator that goes to the ignition switch is just hooked to a positive terminal right? So that wire could go to the same post as the positive battery cable?

Hey Chuck, no problem with the bracket, what about the wiring. The small wire how does that hook up. And the pulley, can you just use the pulley off the original alternator or do you need a new pulley?

well, I should have known better. Got the new regulator and went to install it. When I got the alternator out and took the old regulator off it was completely fried. I mean melted. I should have know better then to try a new regulator, but I figured it was worth a shot. Cleaned out all the...

Thanks Maccus, kind of what I was thinking. I went ahead and ordered a regulator this morning.

My issue is exactly what you described in your original post. Meter in the yellow, only charging 24.5 volts across the batteries. Let me tell you what I did this weekend though. I removed the existing batteries and replaced them with two brand new Interstates that I had just put in my F350...

Yeah I got it, had to disconnect the belts from the alternator and tip it to the frame to see in the hole. It is a philips, but it didnt' make any difference. It only turns one complete revolution. All the way counter clockwise was 24.46 volts and all the way clockwise went down to 24.11...

I reviving this because I have the same situation as the original post. I'm a little confused. The alternator is really hard to see from the top its covered up and really tight so you can't look straight down on it at all. There are two stories here, midnight rider says the plug is in the...
