So that's cool.
What about the regulator and wiring diagram?
I got a John Deere PM alternator (that looks similar to yours) and regulator from different ebayers. I would like to use it as a backup source instead of two batteries.
Figuring out the regulator wiring is slowing me down while I go thru the first engine runs etc. maybe I won't use it.
I always thought a Harley style PM alternator could be fit between the engine and the reduction gear? The amp rating should be equal to the esential loads, because extra generator capacity is 'spilled' by the regulator as wasted energy. The 'main' alternator can turn off it's field current if no additional power is required.
