I have a MF 231 made in 1996. The alternator went out and all the new ones look to only have 2 terminal posts. The old one had several wires but just 2 from the tractor, the rest were on board the alternator I believe regulator or something. Fairly sure the red wire goes to the larger terminal and the other wire to the smaller. Have read in other forums about making sure a wire goes back to the battery. Nothing has been modified or changed with regards to this problems. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't know of a place near that can rebuild them. I had already bought a new one when I posted originally. I ended up getting a multi meter and figuring it out. ....
