Not without some fancy jury rigging. You could stick a different brand alternator on there as a temporary and not hook it up. There are also other 24V alternators out there off of highway tractors that could be made to fit and might be more reliable than the Leece Neville thats on there now.

The installation of this particular alternator was a Cdn change from the original German alternator. They were always a weak point, both for the lack of reliability of the alternator and for the poor mounting system, which was also prone to failures. Mind you, it wasn't so much the alternator that was at fault as the hidden location of the batteries, making it difficult for the operators to properly secure the terminals or service the batteries.
