NOTE: The red wires from the starter solenoid
and regulator/rectifier out-put both contain
diodes. Continuity can be tested in one direction
(to the fuel solenoid), but not the other.

• Refer to the Caterpillar Engine and Related sys-
tems Chapter of this manual for specific removal
instructions.
• Refer to the Testing the Charging System sec-
tion of this chapter for methods of testing the
charging system.
• The alternator used in this application is Cater-
pillar-specific. It is similar to Cub Part number
BS-825084. Substituting this 40 amp alternator
for the Caterpillar 45 amp alternator will result in
a reduction in charging system capacity.
16. Engine harness connector for the Caterpillar
engine is secured to the fuel rail on the top of the
engine. See Figure 9.18.
