Ron, if yours is an older 80's model like my B6100 then the 'alternator' is in fact a magneto built into the fan. I think kubota calls it a dynamo. Its output is weak but enough to keep the battery charged. Also important for the older models like mine is knowing there is no water pump. Kubota and others used to use a 'thermo-siphon' cooling system. It works, but only if the utmost care is given to keeping the radiator and grille spotless clean. Easily done using compressed air, I check mine evertime before going out... amazing how easily they get plugged up!

I had a similar situation with a ford lgt-145. I thought my clutch needed replaced, but found that it was not the clutch but my deck not wanting to turn easily. I found bunches of the baler twine wrapped up tightly in the spindles causing excessive friction. Apparently the clutch sensed the overload and would open the circuit. Long story short, it was an easy fix once I got my deck cleaned up. It's a longshot but worth a look. Best of luck.
