>A side note for anyone replacing the TRactor engine generator or doing an
alternator conversion... While you have the car apart, I'm pretty sure one
or
more of the bolts that holds the lower mounting bracket to the engine
pierces
all the way through to the engine's water jacket. If that the vibrated loose
and dropped out, the coolant would dump out and the engine will overheat
very
quickly and badly. Check that those bolts are secure! <
Actually that lower Dynamo/alternator bracket bolt goes through the side of
the crankcase. If it vibrates undone whilst underway you will have an oil
leak which would not shame BP and your engine bay will be rustproofed for
many moons.
