My alternator hasn't worked for a while and I wasn't going to pay $500+ for a new one. I was poking around the web and found an Ebay seller that sold them. Didn't have my exact part number but crossed it over. I received it the other day (about 3-4 days for shipping) and it looks good. Looks brand new, sticker has been removed. I haven't tried it yet but I don't see any real fault. The wiring locations are a little different but no problem for me...the plug is exactly the same. Mine was a 30a and I think this is a 40a. It was for a B or BX. $129 plus shipping. Check them out. He responded to my emails quickly and guaranteed it would work for me.

Looks aren't everything but you might want to take it to a parts store and have it checked before installation. Boy, do they ever see you coming with things like that. Five hundred bucks. I would plumb a salvage yard alternator on before I would pay that. Especially since I am to broke to pay attention. :D I hope it works for you.

Yep, tried that, I have several old Bosch alternators that were takeoffs when I was a mechanic, just to big to fit and stay under the cover with the willfit brackets.

actually $576!!! I think the P/N for the one I got is $286.

My 42 years old Bolens garden tractor has a better charging system than any of my Kubotas.

Sounds good, hope it works well. I noticed he didn't list Mahindra. The alternator for my '03 2810 was $500 too. :(
I might have been able to do a will-fit install but, I wanted it to be as new. $500 later, it is.

$500 sounds about right. Alternators, starters and hydraulic pumps are all in the $500 range for most Japanese compact tractors and now maybe even Korean compacts. The Japanese must think that $500 is a good number. To bad that don't like $200 or even $300.:mad:

Holy smokes, these things can't be rebuilt?
I brought mine to a shop that said no, due to parts availability. I did keep it and one of these days, I'll try a bigger shop.

Looks like the only major difference is what i have been told is the "clocking" the relationship of the connectors to the mounting brackets. usually you can take out the 4 bolts and turn it to line up like the old one.
