Replaced alternator for my John Deere 2320

[Todd24]

I replaced my alternator on my 2320 and the new alternator that was compatible doesn't
have a wire coming out the back. It has the female connector built in the back causing the male in connector wire to be too short. I tried to cut zip ties and pull on the wire to make the connection but, there's no extra wire to pull. My question is do they make a coupler or a pig tail for this, or do I have to splice additional wire to make this longer to reach.

If the alternator is not compatible have you considered returning it and getting the correct alternator? You could probably also have the original rebuilt at an alternator shop. For that matter are you SURE the original was defective and the problem wasn't elsewhere?
