Z134 Alternator conversion bracket source in Canada?

[BrianV_]

Hi all,

The gas Massey 50 I purchased had a long-ago 10SI alternator conversion done. They continued to use the generator bracket, but used a grinder to cut a slot in the middle of the lower alternator mounting 'ear' to slide over the end of the generator bracket.

Inventive, and it clearly worked... but I have no intention of taking a grinder to a new alternator to 'make it work'.

Does anyone know of a source in Canada where I can get an alternator conversion bracket like this one:

or event a generic bracket like this?:

I can find them easily on US online stores, but the shipping to Canada is horrendous.

There's a seller on Amazon that claims to be selling part no GFD9309 (for $55!), but the picture and part number in the Amazon specifics point to DB Electrical's 'new' mount type, which is either not for a 10SI-type alternator, or is otherwise just plain wrong: https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/alternator-base-mounting-bracket-for-massey-ferguson-tractor-to30-new.html

Here's the no-longer-available kit that's similar to the YT part above - this matches the eye test for what's needed: https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/bracket-kit-1200-0503bkit-for-massey-ferguson-to30-1200-0503-to30alt12v.html

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I cannot say for sure on that tractor but every conversion I have done I was able to flip the generator bracket and use a long bolt to hold the alternator on

Give www.external_link.com a try.

They are in NB and deal with older tractors.

Same for me, I can't say with that machine but on mine I just used the original generator brackets. This is on a '64 MF35 Utility. I did replace that upper long bolt, washer and nut, this pic was taken right after the conversion and it's just something I had on hand.
