BX-23 UPGRADE ALTERNATOR

   / BX-23 UPGRADE ALTERNATOR #11  
The Dynamo will be a standard feature and , I would guess, not wildly sought after whereupon it would be only logical not to stock as every one would have one or better. I would guess you could get one if need be. Not a lot of complexities to a dynamo. My guess is they rarely fail.

That is the very same alternator kit I had installed on my 1830
Much better than that OEM junk that came as standard equipment
You got an execellent deal

Escavader,
Thank you for the information. Looking forward to the pics.
I've had trouble at my local Kubota parts counter getting the correct number or part before. I don't think their system is very good. One time the parts guy happened to remember what the correct block heater was. Their computer didn't show it correctly. If I had ordered the part the computer said, it would have been wrong.

Next you have to choose from the kit,which new tightening bracket you need.Itook the one from the bx22-23.Remove the old[2 bolts]install the new.GET the bushing and new bolt from the kit for the bottom.Ibelieve i used an old one for the top rough in the alternator.Before you tighten ,make sure its on all the pulleys.If its off on the bottom one ,its easier to crawl under and slip it back on,tighten it up according to your owners manual.
