Alternator mounting bracket

[Bob Gil]

I am looking for a Alternator mounting bracket for the front of this 6-53 DD (mounts on the fan end not the transmission end).

I don't know how they were making what was there do much good it is in sad shape.  The holes a messed up so bad i can not even weld it up and redrill them and there is not really enough metal to make the proper size holes in the first place.

I have a Lessee Neville 160 amp it has a POS and a NEG (Do I need to put a wire to the NEG or should it be already grounded?)  terminals and then it has 3 more terminals that I was told i could use for power also does any body understand these 3 extra terminals?

Bob, That looks like the 8LHA model or similar.

The negative wire goes to battery ground, the positive goes to the battery positive.

The 3 terminals on the bottom are the diode taps.

You can get a wiring diagram at

Dallas that is what I was told they were (I could not remember what they called them).  But what are they and how do you use them??

I went to the link you posted and it has them labeled as AC is that for 12 volt dc accessories or as in AC current?

I am making progress even in the 107 drgee heat I finaly got the kill sylnoid mounted and adjusted today.  Now I can start and kill it from the rear with 12 volt DC and do not have to use the wire or remote start any more,  now to get them wired to the dash.

Those Diode terminals are actually for testing purposes as far as I know. If you hook a volt meter up to them you should get AC voltage that rpm dependent for it's frequency. Unless told to do otherwise by someone who knows a lot more than I do, (which isn't difficult), don't attach anything to those terminals and especially don't touch them while the engine is running. You could get a real charge out of the activity.

Hey Dallas I just found this from the link you gave.

"I am replacing the engine tachometer that receives the engine speed signal from the Motorola alternator (via the AC tap or tach signal terminal). "

I guess there are ways to use those 3 terminals if you know what you are doing.

On that alternator you must attach the negative terminal to the battery ground, the alternator is insulated. The three post at the back are each one of the three phases in the three phase alternator. I have seen them connect the three leads to a step up transformer to increase the voltage to 24V on a 24V start and accessories on 12V

Thank you that is what I needed to know, got to go and get more big wire (cable) on the way home from work today I guess.
