alternator revisited

[Junkman]

3 years ago i purchased an alt off this site that looks like this 1 except it had a plastic cover of the 3 terminal area that would only allow one terminal in there. Never got it to work on my 6610 year 1990.

 

[Junkman]

new alt did not have the wire clip shown above & had a plastic cover over the 3 prong area for only one terminal to enter that area. My tractor has a plastic connector to plug in there with 3 wires. also has a 4th small wire that connected to one of the small housing bolts & resembles this picture, my old alt says perkins built in 96 on it & has the covers over the b+ & w terminals, i will take some pictures of the actual items in question this evening.

 

[Junkman]

I tried several possible ways to connect the new alt unsuccessfully. What do i need to remove, change, hook up where to the new alt to make it work? Any help would be appreciated. Seems like there are several different configurations of alternators for a 6610. This tractor is open station, but does have a fuse block under the hood. At this point i doubt i can send the new 3 years ago alternator back to ytmag, however i do wish to fix this issue.

"I tried several possible ways to connect the new alt unsuccessfully.".....sounds like good way to make a boat anchor.
Waiting on evening pictures,

That is what i was hoping to avoid.

Unless you send me contradictory info this evening, this is what I think as of now:

 

[Junkman]

Wow, that is awsome. Don't believe there is a temp sensor under the battery, but there is a terminal that is unplugged over on that side. Sorry this picture is really crappy. My wife has the good camera, & the old camera eats batterys like crazy. I have one picture until she gets home.

 

[Junkman]

didn't get a picture of the alt that i bought off yt, so i have enchanced it today. My guess is since there was a cap over the 3 prong area the 2 wires coming from the battery should go to the w & b+ terminals? No battery temp sensor either, so should i just ground that post? Thanks jmor for you help & time.

 

[JMOR]

Put both battery wires on B+ terminal. Nothing on W. You can try with temp sensor no connect, then if need be, gnd it, and finally try 12v (switched from ign sw). Chg indicator light connection will be necessary.

Must be boat anchor. Tried both wires on b+, no wire on battery temp connector, tried grounding battery temp connector, tried running 12 volts to it, nothing works. Every time i turn the key on the charge light does not come on, it does with the old setup. I have burned up several hours on this thing it is time to toss it. I should of returned it when i seen was a lot different than what was on it. If napa can't set me up with something to match my old alternator tomorrow, 10si will be coming home. I probably hooked up one of the battery leads to the w terminal & fried it 3 years ago. I really don't care if the charge light works or not, i just need a source to charge the battery. Jmor thanks for you help.

Any links to setting up a 10si on a dummy light would be appreciated. I was hoping to plow tomorrow with a battery happily charging.

can anyone tell me what this box that plugs into the terminal for?

I got the new one to work.

on't know what that 'box' is for. Bigger question: what did you do to get the new one to work. Last I saw you had tried all combinations & no work??

little "Googling" reveals that it is a radio frequency noise suppression device....probably a capacitor.

Removed the radio noise box, removed the piece that contains the brushes & has the orange wire coming out for the battery temp sensor & replaced it with the one off my old alt. Wired up like my old one & worked. Figured at this point I had nothing to loose. thanks for the help.
