Well, I am finished with replacing the alternator on the 15kW diesel 
generator and it is playing just fine.  Even looks semi-professional. 
Small modifications to wiring and it's charging the battery, belt 
running true, water pump pumping the renewed charge of anti-freeze.  All 
is well in the generator's little world.

I have run it yesterday for 40 mins and today for 50 more.  Belt running 
true, no leaks anywhere, antifreeze level good.

I finished hooking up everything today before I test ran it again.  The 
new alternator is charging the battery just fine.

I will probably run it some more tomorrow when Ron and Scott are here, 
but I think we are in great shape for the contest and I wouldn't worry 
about the generator at all.


73, Bob
