DamonC Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I'd like to know a manufacturer and part number for the voltage regulator on an AC B-10. The regulator on my B-10 has no manufacturer or part number markings anywhere (inside or outside). At this moment, while I'm working on restoration of my B-10, the voltage regulator is off the tractor. I'd also like to know how I can test this old regulator to see if it's still working. Thank you for any assistance.
RayS Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 The voltage regulator were a Delco number 1118988 and the Briggs part number is 295924.
nateb17010 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 any older ford, chevy, AMC or dodge, will work form a parts store and cheaper then the tractor place. we bought one a few years back and it had a Agco box, $20.00 mark up, "for the box I would guess" and directions for a ford, chevy, AMC or dodge 12 v gen/reg "not for a tractor". so now I just go down to the parts store and ask for a '62 amc rambler classic 6 cyl regulator. that is what I have replaced some of mine with already. if not sure of take your old one in the parts store and ask for some thing close. "$65.99 from Agco $35.99 advance auto" have not checked for a few years tho. good luck just looked it up for you they went up.

Chris727 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Be careful, not all regulators are interchangeable, I think the garden tractor systems are 15 amp because of the sealed starter generators. Your original regulator is a 3 pole model. The briggs ones are 2 pole and require you to drill new mounting holes on the tractor. Looking at an orignal regulator the #s are 12 VN 1H, other leg I think is the model # 1119 310E. I have purchased several replacement regulators for only $30 ea. about 2 yrs ago. They look identical to factory and really finish off a restoration. The factory delco regulator is to the left. They are made by J&N. part # 231-12026. I bought mine from DB-electrical rebuilders in Gray, TN. I had great service from them. www.dbelectrical.com The J&N regulator is also probably available locally through a starter or alternator shop.
RayS Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Here is a link to the one I replaced 4 or 5 years ago. Mine is just liked the one pictured it is a 3 pole. http://cgi.ebay.com/Voltage-Regulator-Delco-1118988-for-BRIGGS-295924_W0QQitemZ170260887769QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item170260887769&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 Chris, where is that info in the link that you provided for J&N. part # 231-12026? It just shows a index, but i can`t seem to find that part number.
JimH Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Damon, I would devinately go with the 3-coil type as Chris and Ray have stated. They are the 3-hole mount type and look and work just like the original Delco unit.
JimH Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Ray, I had the same problem. I ended up doing a google search and got to their main web site and just book marked it. Unfortunately there is no listing for the 3-pole regulator. may have to call them. Their # 1-800-753-2242
UCD Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Caution An automotive 30 amp voltage regulator will work and get the Battery charged but it will also burn out the generator side of the starter/generator as it will not open the charging circuit at 15 amps. It will keep calling for 30 amps which the start/gen can not supply and over heat the coils burning it self up.
Zach Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 UCD is absolutely right. I learned this the hard way8C
Chris727 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Ray, Sorry they are not set up for online ordering that I am aware of, I always called and ordered them.
nateb17010 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 this is the box that I received oh so many years a go. ya I went out to my mom & dads house and looked for this box and instructions. the only thing missing was the listing of cars and trucks this regulator worked in and this why I said what I did yes I looked up the wrong car "sorry" it was late and I just looked fast. also thanks UCD for finding my mistake. here's the box and the paper left in the box.
