They lied. My 4059 came standard with a single pulley. If it was
available with a double pulley I would have gotten it.

The Ample Power #4059 is a small frame single pulley unit which
is the one I have. I don't see where one can be had
with dual belts.

It's really not important, since you're happy with your setup and it's
not relevant to the OP. But from the Ample Power website:

http://www.amplepower.com/products/alt/index.html

"Standard pulley dimensions are 1/2 inch, (12.7 mm), single belt by
2.6 inch, (66 mm) outside diameter for model #4023. For the #4059,
#4060 and #4109, a double 1/2 inch, (12.7 mm), belt by 3 inch, (76.2
mm), outside diameter pulley is standard. Two belts are recommended,
but the #4059 will operate on a single belt if the belt is tensioned
frequently."

Also, the #4023 is the only true small frame unit, though Ample power
says on the same page:

"Alternators #4059 and #4060 also have a 2 inch, (50.8mm) mounting
foot and will often replace small frame units where there is a couple
more inches, (50-75mm) available around the engine."

I only mention this because someone reading this and shopping for a
small frame alternator should know that the #4059 might not fit. It
certainly wouldn't on my engine.

I'm glad your setup is working well for you. And with that, I bow out
of this thread.
