I put the GM 'CS130' into 4 of my tractors, 2 have 'idiot lights' 2 just a resistor. All work fine for past 10-15 years.
You may want to check pulley size and confirm alt. rpm, though you should be fine.

Depending on the upgrade, don't forget your wiring. Don't expect factory wiring to handle 50% more amps.
give me a couple of days and i will try and send you pics. don't know if i can on this site but will try. may need to text to your phone if i can't get them to on this site. (mod edit # removed)

I used an electric power steering from a saturn vue on my 8N. I ordered one of those Bruno kits on Ebay to control it. I have a GM 1 wire alternator on it I think is 63 amp I put on years before when i changed to 12 volt and electronic ignition points. They work pretty good, (sorry no way to get good pictures) but I cut a lot of the dash apart and the steering column so it isn't any restored show tractor but so much better on my arthritic shoulders.
