Leyland 272 charging system parts, including 55 amp alternators, replacement brushes, bearings and instrument wiring looms.
The charging system on the Leyland 272 tractor is responsible for keeping the battery charged and supplying electrical power to essential systems such as lighting, instrumentation and starting. A weak or faulty charging system can lead to flat batteries, poor starting performance and unreliable electrics, especially on tractors that are still used regularly.
Tractor Spare Parts Ltd offers a brand new 55 amp alternator as a direct replacement for the original Lucas 16 ACR and 17 ACR alternators. This modern alternator provides significantly improved output compared to the original units and is suitable for tractors that have been upgraded with additional lighting or electrical accessories. On BMC and Leyland engines, the alternator is mounted on the left-hand side of the engine, while on Perkins-engined Leyland models such as the 245 and 253, the alternator is mounted on the right-hand side.
For customers who prefer to retain their original alternator, we also supply alternator repair components, including alternator brushes (GGB504 / Lucas BS6 ULB110) and replacement bearings. In many cases, worn brushes or noisy bearings are the only faults present, and replacing these components can restore an original alternator to full working order at a fraction of the cost of a complete unit.
We also stock an instrument wiring loom, which is often overlooked when diagnosing charging faults. Damaged, corroded or incorrectly modified wiring can prevent the alternator from charging correctly, even if the alternator itself is functioning perfectly. Replacing aged wiring ensures correct voltage flow, reliable gauge readings and long-term electrical safety across the tractor.
