I have been experiencing a annoying problem with my LB1914 alternator. The bottom bolt that secures the alternator to the engine continually shears off during short periods of running the tractor (10-15 minutes). I spoke to a couple of dealers about this and arrived at a reasonable suggestion to go to a harden bolt #8 versus what I was purchasing at a local home improvement chain. This unfortunately did not resolve the problem since the #8 shear off as well. The best I can tell is that the alternator has developed an excessive amount of vibration that is wreaking havick on the bolts that secure the unit to the engine. I have a new alternator on order for the tune of $115 hoping that this will resolve the issue. Has anyone every experience this or see this in the field? Other than a new alternator I can't think of anything else to try.
