Additional Information
This alternator, part number 592831, is specifically engineered for use in lawn and garden equipment engines. Manufactured by the reputable Briggs & Stratton, it replaces the older part number 696459, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. The alternator plays a crucial role in generating voltage to keep the battery charged, vital for maintaining the smooth operation of your outdoor equipment.
The design of this alternator minimizes the risk of battery depletion, a common issue that can disrupt your equipment's function. If you're experiencing symptoms like the lawn mower refusing to start or frequent battery drainage, this component may resolve the problem, restoring your machine's functionality.
Before installing, make sure to wear work gloves to protect your hands from potential hazards. Experience with basic mechanical tasks is recommended to install this alternator. By following these guidelines, users can ensure both effective installation and continued safety during use. For those new to DIY repairs, consider consulting a professional for additional support.
Received the correct part ahead of expected delivery time. YouTube videos provided excellent views regarding old part testing, removal and installation of the new alternator. Did find the removal of the Flywheel from the crankshaft a challenge, but with the leverage the bolt did break loose. The final removal of the Flywheel does require a pulley remover. Once down to the old alternator, easy to remove and replace, with re-assembly also easy to do. Again, YouTube video provided a key, with 100ft lbs of torque on the crankshaft bolt. Recommend taking the time to thoroughly clean all parts prior to re-assembly. In my case, once double checking all parts were properly back on, the Lawn Tractor started right up, and testing confirmed the battery was being charged.

The most difficult thing I had was getting the flu wheel off. But installing the new alternator was pretty easy.

Moderately easy to install.

The challenge of this installation process is removal of the engine's flywheel. I recommend purchasing the tool for pulling the flywheel (I fabricated one). Once the flywheel puller was made, changing the alternator took about 20 minutes.

Make sure to have (or order) a fly wheel puller! With that, installation was a breeze.
