Ford 555B electrical

[J Jenkins]

I'm new to the forum, but not to YT. Years ago, I bought parts through YT for a JD 55 MT and was very pleased. Now, I've just finished a king pin job and exhaust sys repair, (all YT parts) which melted the wiring harness at the manifold. I repaired the harness, replaced the alt., ( melted diode trio terminals), but still will not charge. Can anyone tell me where the voltage regulator is located?
Also, is there a forum here for selling a tool set?

do you know what alternator is installed?

 

[Bob Bancroft]

Inside the battery box.

I'm comfortable it is original. Will verify in a while when I get to the machine. Thanks for your reply. More
to follow.

 

[J Jenkins]

Thanks for the reply. Will verify in a while. There's a 4D in the box and not much room for the regulator. Will let you know by day's end. Thanks again!

J Jenkins this is Ron Berry. You said on the test forum that your Father knew my Father. Where have we met before? I live in Charleston and have a farm near Reevesville. You may have met my brothers Mark and Chris.

Hey Ron, ( there's another email to you addressing your other questions), I knew your father as well. I left James Island in the mid 80's, married and divorced, married again in 2002, then built a 3200 foot log home in Low Falls outside of Elloree. Sold it last April and now live in Santee. I'm sure I met you all because ya'll did some RTB and dump truck work for us.

A little under the weather the day after my question, bigger fires the day after and back at the farm yesterday. The regulator was right where you said...saw the 3 screws from my creeper, removed the battery and there it was. Thanks for your help.

The alternator apparently changed from Motorola to Prestolite and evidently is now Leese-Neville. I found the regulator and my charging issues should be over. Thanks for the help.
