Alternator on my 1992 Bobcat 853 finally went bad. NAPA Auto wants $280,00 for a remanufactured Alternator, Ebay has them for $107.00 to $160.00. I only use the Bobcat for 12 hours a year. Best place to buy an inexpensive one? Thank you
 
I picked mine up on Amazon for $160 at the time (1993 853)......it's listed as $199 now. Been working great for the last 50+ hours of run time.
 
I would take the orginal alt. to a repair shop and see if can be easily fixed,maybe just diodes. If it can be repaired and it is still showing its age or you just are not comfortable with it, buy a generic one and shelve the old on as a spare.
