Hello All
Need help with an issue on the 460U. Attempting to convert from the OEM 12v generator to a GM 3 wire alternator.
I would like to remove the adjustable brace link at the top, its attached to a waterpump body-bolt, but is long enough to apparently be trapped by the pulley.
The basic issue is that the link gets into a bind with the casting as I push it upwards, it must go up further to interface with the top of the alternator.
I can only feel inside with my hands, seems like I could get the fan blades off with some wrenching but all I feel on the pulley-hub is just a pilot in the center of the shaft. Seems like I'm into a major disassembly here to remove the sheetmetal, radiator, and more...any thoughts on what it would take to actually remove this?
Alternate would be to cut it short with a small cutoff wheel, mockup the alternator with mounting, and then mig weld it in-place on the tractor...not my first choice but I would do it to save an additional 3 days of work...
