I am interested in that info also. Hopefully it's a simple and relatively inexpensive upgrade.

Your dealer can't get the 40 Amp upgrade Alt?!? Maybe they should called a proctologist to see of they can find their heads! Try Messicks. They know what their doing. Or here: The part for my BX was 15531-64017 and is available for $202 at Tractor Smart

The least expensive would be to get a rebuilt Hitachi 14231 Alternator from NAPA, Advance Auto, Auto Zone or O'rilies. See if it will mount and fit. It should. If it does not they should have no problem with you returning it.
That little alternator is used in a lot of applications. I believe it was originally used in the 80's Nissan pickups. Has been used in a lot of Japan motors since. And many conversions.
It is an internally regulated 40 amp very affordable, very reliable, should be LESS than $50.00.
You can wire it as a single wire alternator if you want. So hook up is very simple. KennyV.

Thanks for the info. That will go into the manual for down the road a bit.

After I submitted the above line I looked up the alternator on the site and that number came up, Then I looked up dynamo and nothing came up. I'm wondering if that part isn't the original and not an upgrade?
