Landcruiser 12HT alternator

Well the first time I had a problem with it, thats what I decided to do, he said minimum $600, so I had a poke around at it, replaced a wire that came unplugged, and back to working, so I'm a bit suss on em. Not all crooks though I know.
I guess I'm looking at a cheap option, but may be the way to go too!
cheers

you will probably only need brushes in it .the 60 series alt was well built. the regulators were quite reliable

William, thanks for that. I'll get a pic to you when I can, but I'm a few hours from bunbury, so I'll see how it goes, might try looking at the bushes as suggested.

Stuart, is this a job easily done myself? I guess by the time I pull it apart, I'll know how to put it together again?

Thanks fellas
Troy

it certainly is not a hard job, as a sparky working on cars it used to take1/2an hr
1: parts required (ingram part no 9707)
2 disconnect battery
3 movr a/c comp by removing the 4x 12mm bolts, movr compressor away from alternator
4 remove 10mm nut and bakelite insulator, remove 8mm nut.
5 lift lid
6remove 2x8mm nuts that hold reg and brush box.
there is a crimp ed wire that may go under the one insulator.
7remove brushbox assy
83xscrews hold the reg to the brush box remove the reg
9 solder new brushes in if old ones are really short .they will also be burnt.
reassemble

Hi there WilliamH, would you believe I've gotten as far as moving the air con pump! been really busy
As for selling it, I haven't even thought that far yet, gonna go through the whole car and clean it up a bit before I get there.
Sounds like you're starting a car sales yard :)

Wow that's a nice ol' girl with a bit of work done! I gotta say, the 12HT is the only reason I'm hesitant to sell it, ripper motor for an old clunker.
I'm in Kelmscott, so not too far away. But as mentioned earlier, I'll be selling to pay for the camper, so I'll be trying to polish her up a bit and look for top dollar.
If I get sick of that idea, I'll let you know
Cheers
Troy
