    Probably better response if posted on the Forestry and Farming Forum.

    I personally don't like the look of alternators on restored tractors, and I've found that a properly rebuilt dynamo will keep a battery topped up, unless you're doing a lot of start cycles, with short running time.

    As for the one you tried, Can only imagine your loom is heating because the wiring is too small. A fiesta alternator will not be hugely powerful

    Agreed re the wires.

    Wires are too small or load is too big.
