Complete Tractor New Alternator for Generator Conversion Kit Compatible with/Replacement for Early Ford Tractor | 1939-1951 Tractor Models 8N, 2N and 9N,Black

bought this to convert mt dads 8N. This is a good kit and it starts much better now

Worked good after I did a YouTube search. There instructions were incorrect.

Instructions leave a bit to be desired but this in an old conversion and there are plenty of sources on the internet including YouTube videos. The included belt was too big for my tractor, had to use the old one. Other than that no issues.

Has my tractor starting and running like a new one. Great kit. The install was very easy. Instructions are very thorough. Did have to change one connect on the harness.

Belt supplied is too short. Upper mounting bracket interferes with spark plug wire tube. Lower mounting bracket makes alternator crooked. Fabrication is required.

I read a lot of the reviews here before buying this kit. I though I was handy enough to work around whatever needed modification, but it turns out many of the criticisms were right. I have a '41 Ford 9N and just to start off, the support bracket that bolts to the head just didn't fit as designed. On the second head bolt, there is an original bracket that holds the throttle linkage. So either you take that off and put this under it, or the mounting surfaces are uneven. And then the bolts won't have but half of the thread to grip to, which is concerning to get the head bolts to the torque required. I ended up cutting the bracket down to one bolt and welding two flaps to keep it from moving. Too much work for a "kit". Second, the ignition coil included in this kit was faulty. Once I replaced this part, my tractor started right up. The belt was indeed too small. I ended up reusing the original belt.The wiring harness was of adequate length for my needs. All of that was fine. I did use a different wiring arrangement from what was specified with this kit, but I used all the wires included in this kit for my revised wiring scheme. The alternator is the standard Delco that everyone uses. It works fine.There are no real instructions for this kit. They just included a printout of a crude wiring diagram with no other explanation. This is by far the worst part of this kit. Like everyone else here, I figured it out, but the kit really needs some explanation. Too many things can go wrong and you could potentially damage your tractor if you install this wrong.Would I buy this again? Absolutely not. I would pay more from one of the more custom kits from the tractor sites on the internet.

Excellent. Thank you. Fast shipping.

Great product. Came early. Will install in the spring.
