TM for alternator adjustment/troubleshooting

[dieselfuelonly]

My voltmeter has been reading out of the green zone on my Deuce and I've done some reading here and it looks like I need to find the appropriate TM and go about troubleshooting, adjusting, and/or replacing my alternator. Can anyone help me find the right TM? I have looked through the resources section but there are so many of them I don't know which one to look through. Is there a way to search the resources section?

Thanks,

Dennis

Here is another helpful TM to go with the others above, especially if rebuilding one. It covers a few other models as well.

Thats crazy , I have to do the same on my truck. Its reading right in the yellow and holding so im guessing I need to adjust mine, Jay

Yeah mine reads right in between the green and yellow so I will check out those manuals. Thanks everyone!

I noticed today that the Deuce cranked a little slower than usual but just thought it was because it was a bit cooler out last night than normal. However, by the time I drove it to work (couldn't resist ) the voltage gauge was deep in the yellow.

After work I went back out and the voltage gauge had risen to a bit below the green (my Deuce has the tiny little solar panel on the hood with a little controller down in the battery box that says "Solargizer" on it, maybe it charged the batteries a little bit?), but when I hit the starter she turned over slowly but managed to fire. I drove it home (thank God for mechanical diesels) and pulled the batteries out and am charging them now - the alternator is definitely not charging.

Hopefully I will have some time on Sunday to reinstall the charged batteries, fire the Deuce back up and get to troubleshooting with my multimeter. Anyone know where I could find a rebuild kit for the alternator? As long as there aren't any specialty tools required, since the documentation is good I may just rebuild it myself if I can get the parts if needed.
