Do all of the mid-60s 4 post mechanical voltage regulators interchange?

I have several starter-generator setups here... only one is a Wheelhorse original.

 

I need to find a mechanical voltage regulator that I can use but I have no way of knowing what these came off of or how to look one up. I don't see any part numbers on them. Three posts on one side. One on the bottom. How can I go about finding one of these?

Have never known of any other supplier of the starter/generator than Delco but there could have been.

B&S service manual. Click on the pictures to find the chapter.

Kohler

Wheel Horse did use a B&S engine with a starter/generator but forget which model.

You can use either a 3 terminal or 4 terminal regulator.  Other than 6 or 12 volt they are all pretty much the same.  Some are marked positive ground but my S/G guy said it really didn't make any difference....

@pfrederi

 

What's the fourth terminal that does not get used?

You just kind of toss that wire on the workbench and not worry about it?

:lol:

Instead of the A terminal on the bottom of a 4 terminal unit it is on the top of a three terminal.  The L terminal is not there on a 3 term unit If you have something that needs it you piggy back on the Bat terminal

Simple enough.

 

Paul, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.
