The ordeal is over. "Transplant” was a huge success. Josie is back up and running strong.
The new part arrived at 10:45 via UPS next-day air. By the time the part arrived, I was nearly through the removal of the old alternator. I was right on schedule.
There were no tricky situations to adjust to, just time-consuming tasks. I marched right through them and was done hours before I thought I would be. Good thing, too… it’s been cold and windy and overcast much of the day.
The pic here is of the old alternator. You can see how rusty it is inside. Metal flaking off… no bueno situation.
We live to ride again!!
