Did the 4440 come with a two wire Delco alternator or three? I'm talking about the plug, not the battery terminal on the back of it as well.
The alternator on the 4440 went out. I took it to my guy and he exchanged it. I put the new one on and it has a parasitic draw on the electrical. I made him give me another new one as I thought maybe a diode was bad. Still the same. The tractor has a two wire plug on it. The alternators he gave me have three spade connections together. Now I can't remember what the old one looked like. Before I drive back to town to see if I can look at the old one I thought maybe someone knew. I called Deere and all of their 25 year old techs are still looking through the wiring diagrams trying to figure it out. I wouldn't be wondering but the wiring running to the alternator has a spot that has electrical tape on it so there has been something go on there.
