Buy a genuine JD or Yanmar regulator made in Japan (not China) as these work well. I've bought cheaper and was disappointed ...

So I bought the regulator at the eBay link. I've installed it. It was a bolt-in job as the mount spacing was the same as my original transpo regulator. I made some 3/16" aluminum spacers to keep it off the firewall. All the wires mated right up - the regulator has male spade connectors like the other regulators. I did have to add a wire to mate to the yellow wire.
So far I have one ground run. At 3000 RPM, I am getting 14.5V with all loads off, and then all loads on. Looks promising.
Thanks Dale!
