It has a GM one wire alternator. The only part on it that has failed under the hood since I built it....

Toyota.
So, it didn't fail, it was rejected?
Poor truck thinks it's being turned into an AMC.
Dally won't know what to think of this. LOL

If this is going rate, then my Ariens 24” Deluxe snowblower must be worth $4k by now - after all, I paid $900 for it about 6 years ago.

On the articulating lawn tractor: I’ve been seeing this on facebook marketplace a lot too, someone trying to get their money back out of a project, with no actual market for it. It may be cool, but it’s obviously not as great as it was intended to be, and there’s no replacement parts when it fails, without cobbling something else together. The builder doesn’t want it anymore, that should tell a guy something.

The coolest part of all this was that when we were almost home with Millie's car, my F350 started making a weird noise. It was my alternator. The bearing came out the back of the case. Two failed alternators in one day. Ain't life grand?
If you are feeding cows today get ready for an alternator on the tractor 😁

Sorry, dupe post.

Big Red ain't playing that game
I’m a lot happier with the controlling *b-word I had gone

Seems as if there's some butthurt because Ford can't figure out how to make their own single wire alternator.
Why? The truck already had all the necessary wiring in it. The trick with older Ford vehicles with the mechanical voltage regulators was to replace them with an electronic voltage regulator from a vehicle somewhere in the latter 80's I believe. This made the charging system reliable for a long, long period of time.

Funny you should mention the tractor. I'm sure you are well aware of how the old Deeres have the lift arms just swinging around back there. I use a strap to hold them together when ain't nothing on the back. Somehow my strap broke, one of the lift arms was rubbing my tire hard.....didn't really hurt anything but damn.

Sometime before I got ol Clifford someone put a Chevy alternator on it. All the wiring was long gone.

Randys is from the 80s

Ford owners figured out it was easier to use Chevy parts for durability and cheaper cost
So quit deflecting old man you was doing it way back then lol
It’s coffee time

You need a quick connect for the 3 point

Had a whirlygig PTO rake climb the back of the tractor when the arm got caught in the AG lugs in a tight turn one time...limiting chains with turnbuckles are your friend!
