How to Rebuild Alternator... and Test It!

Finally rebuilding the alternator, its a bit different to our usual D11 and Farming type of videos but hopefully its interesting and a help to some.
I couldn't go through absolutely everything involved with rebuilding alternators but if you have any questions please ask in the comments.

Bloody brilliant Mate, thanks for the informative and step by step video.
Saved myself $900 for a new alternator and replaced bearings for $24.

Well done, Matt. I now feel qualified to overhaul my .... um, toaster. 😃⚡ I think I'll stick to my spark plugs and batteries. HA. Always nice to learn about how it is "supposed" to work even if just for troubleshooting awareness. Speaking of learning, I was really expecting some scientific (complicated?) way of putting a load on the alternator and then you went ahead and showed us what is going on behind the curtain! - huge light bulbs?! No way! hahaha. Well, it doesn't have to be complicated but just burn a few electrons for testing. Geez!

Hey Matt, I have repaired many alternators on my JD tractors. A reman one is over $300. A pair of bearings is $10. I do like your repair videos. Keep them coming. My favorite is the 7 rod welding demo!!

I subscribe to the AvE method of renaming everything. So rectifier becomes rectum fryer. Kinda appropriate if you don't get all the connections back together properly. You'll really let the smoke out then. :)

Nice job mate, wouldn’t be a bad idea to move the little sleeve back on the main pivot mounting ear to allow easy fitting next go around. Enjoyed that, cheers
