They are all Construction Kings hence the CK. The first 580's made were simply 580CK's.
Can you post the serial number of the tractor ?
Looks like we were posting at the same time.
It appears to be a 580CK. The air cleaner is different on the 580 series C.
So, someone has converted it to a alternator. I am guessing it is wired incorrectly or the alternator is defective.
Is it a GM alternator ? I have done those conversions myself and the idiot light works correctly.
Can you post a photo to the back of the alternator. It appears the wiring is incorrect from what little I can see. There should be a plastic plug with two wires plugged onto two spade connectors at the top of the alternator.
