Regulator

[Rocboni 257]

Hi, 

 

Im looking for a 4 terminal regulator as fitted to cub cadets in conjunction with the delco remy starter/dynamo, just to save me ordering from the US.

 

This is for my Ransomes ITW, I fitted a different regulator but it doesn't seem to do the job.

 

Thanks

I just bought from the states, cheap enough and quick delivery.

Most of the older ( pre to early 70's ) British cars used the same set up of dynamo and regulator .Car boot sales are a good place to find them along with old car manuals which usually have a section on testing them and setting them up .

So any manual from a Reliant 21E to  Roll's will give you all the info you need to keep them working , as many think they have failed when all they need is a turn of the adjuster screw .

And as they are really only an electro magnet , they are quite easy to re-wrap .

Any should fit and work , unless you really need the authentic look ! .

My nephew's Porsche turbo thingy needed a new brake switch , a quick cross reference showed it to be the same as a Seat Leon's and costing a fraction of the main dealer price .

Sometimes what you are searching for can be found in unfamiliar surroundings .

Ordered one online

Has anyone sourced new brushes and a set of terminals with insulators for the delco remy S/G, bearings should be easy to find? Also has anyone got a ammeter on their tractors, just wondering what charging currents can be expected to get the right range of ammeter?

 

Thanks

We reused the old brushes after cleaning the commutator. Replaced both beatings for around a fiver

Brushes are still ok, but a bit worn down, so though I would replace when I have it in bits.

I measure carbon brushes and enter the size into the well known auction site , I get the nearest over size available and " size them " on a sheet of 1000 grit wet and dry paper .

A wooden dowl turned to match the comutator segments diameter ,and  slit to hold a strip of 2000 grit wet and dry paper with a coat of spray  mount to secure it ,  allow me to match the curve on motors that rquire it .

If you do this a lot then a set of differing dowls that fit over an M8 bolt with lock nut  makes it easy to fit them into an electric drill chuck to spin them up .

But every now and again the correct size can be found , so you may drop on lucky ...
