Tractor alternators are dependable, long-lasting pieces of equipment. However, there does come a time when they need replacing. Waiting until your tractor shuts down entirely isn’t productive. Instead, watch for these signs that you may need tractor alternator replacement, and act sooner rather than later.
- Dimming lights: If you notice your headlights or even dashboard lights fading or flickering, then it could be trouble with your alternator. This is an early sign that it might also be due to a failing battery. Our team is made up of experts in tractor alternators and can let you know if it’s time for a replacement.
- Electrical failures: Tractors can support a wide range of both built-in and add-on electrical accessories. If you’re having trouble with these, it could be the alternator. A failing alternator can also make some odd whining noises, which you should act on right away.
- Don’t put off alternator replacement: Failing tractor alternators can cause serious damage to batteries if they go too long without replacement. Overcharging and undercharging can both lead to severely reduced battery life. Acting now can mean replacing just the alternator instead of the battery, too.
- Finding out if your alternator needs replacement: If you think your tractor alternator may be failing, our team can take a look and find out for sure. We carry out the appropriate diagnostics and inspection to check if your alternator is delivering the proper output. If not, we can provide a reliable replacement.
