B2150 Dynamo

[moejr]

Is there any Dynamo upgrade output avalible to replace the 15 amp unit thats on my B2150?

maybe BUT you'll ALSO have to upgrade all the wiring as well......
What kind of output current (amps) do you need ?
Also remember power to spin the 'upgrade' reduces tractor drive/hydraulics power,unless you eclutch the alternator.

You will have to wire it as the wiring will change from the stock dyno.

Apparently the Canadian models came with an alternator with internal regulator. You may need a little bracketry.

I have a small alternator on my Lister Petter diesel engine, and the first one went bad and the selling dealer sent me another. That one didn't last very long either, and I learned that these small alternators have no support for repair parts. You throw them away and buy a new one. Lister Petter was/is using alternators sourced from Japan. I think it is a Nippendonso.

In the UK, my B2150 came with an alternator. Model was HELLA JA551IR, output 40A. Cost new in the UK is about £140-180, equivalent to $180-230 USD, there are various reconditions models going for half that price. It was easy to replace for me, when mine died. The tractor was about 25 years old at that point.

In my notes, these are the Canadian part numbers:

New Alternator 100211-1670 100211-4520 16241-64010 16241-64012 16231-24011

I don't know how different the mounting might be for a dynamo vs. alternator, but it's pretty common for terminals to be in different places! As PoTreeBoy says, you may need a different bracket.

I had already given the alternator replacement in post #3???

Good info, thanks for the replys. Wasn't sure if that 15A Dynamo came in another output like 25-30A.
My B2150 has a Curtis Cab w/ wipper, radio, heater, beacon and 4 Hallogen aux. lights, plus the stock factory lights. The Dynamo can keep up with everything except the Hallogen lights, which I don't use anyway.

I need extra work lights for snow removal. Part is so I can see, but since I'm often in the road - - - so I can be seen by other vehicles.

Just something to consider is replacing all light bulbs with LED before attempting to convert to an alternator. A dynamo is limited in output, but they're very reliable.

Probably can switch the factory OEM tractor lights to LED, and the 4 halogens are work lights?

I started with 2 halogen work lights on my BX with an alternator (40A?). They were a huge amperage load. Could hear the engine work harder just by turning lights on. Light wasn't great either.

Went to 4 LED work lights with better lumens, and now don't notice a difference when the work lights are switched on.

Changed all the tractor headlights/taillights, etc to LED also. All were common automotive lights, just need to figure out what type. Was pretty easy to do, and inexpensive.

Didn’t find a better picture, but these are all very bright and all LED.

Toss the halogens into the recycle bin, go LED.
Never liked halogens..waay too hot,need new gloves to touch them,
Problem solved.
I've got 2, 34W LEDs up top for headlights, one's actually enough.
I put LEDs in the rear as well for turns/4 ways (LED1156 I think )

I used the color red LEDs for the red lens lights and the amber LEDs for the amber lights. They are extremely bright even in daylight on a sunny day.
