In NC we have DC automotive that has used alternators.
I was tempted to get one to test and install if good and rebuild the current one as spare. Has anyone had luck getting a chain to bench test? Also what alternator is it? I.e., what would I search for matching rectifier and brush parts? I checked some threads and didn't find any successful tests or repair attempts. |

The bearings have a number on them and can be matched up with new bearings at the local auto parts store. I did mine for less than $40. If you take itto a chain for testing they will likely not know how to test it. Even though we call these alternators they need to be tested like a generator because they have no internal voltage regulator. |
