SPM-HEP-4749 is the 28 volt, 45 amp alternator with a cooling fan, aluminium housings, a single mounting foot and a top adjusting lug. It is used on Cummins 4BT3.9 engines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
It replaces Cummins 4938300 and Cummins 37V66-01010.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Cummins 4BT3.9?
