OEX Alternator 12V 95A Autolite Style AXA983
The OEX Alternator AXA983 is a new 12V, 95A unit made to suit Autolite style applications. It uses an internal regulator, a pad alternator mount, and a 6 groove pulley, so the key dimensions and drive setup can be checked against the original unit before ordering.
This alternator has 74mm inside mounting legs, a 176mm mount centre to centre measurement, and 10mm adjusting hole and pivot hole diameters. Those figures are important when confirming bracket alignment, especially where the original alternator sits tightly in the engine bay or uses fixed mounting points.
The pulley outside diameter is 56.5mm and the unit weighs 5.9kg. It is listed as a new alternator, not remanufactured, and it carries the OEX warranty of 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use.

Application and Buying Notes
The most reliable way to confirm this alternator is by matching the part number AXA983, the Autolite style application, and the mounting measurements. The 74mm inside mounting legs, 176mm mount centre to centre, and 10mm adjusting and pivot holes need to align with the vehicle’s brackets and adjuster hardware.
The 12V, 95A rating suits systems designed for that output level, but output alone does not confirm fitment. Check the regulator type, which is internal, and make sure the vehicle’s charging system is set up for an internally regulated alternator before ordering.
The 6 groove pulley with a 56.5mm outside diameter also needs to match the belt system already on the vehicle. If the belt section or pulley style differs from the original unit, the alternator may not be a direct installation even if the body mount appears similar.
This is a new alternator and is listed with a 3 year passenger warranty and 1 year commercial warranty. Warranty coverage does not replace the need to verify physical fitment, wiring arrangement, and pulley alignment against the existing unit.
If you are replacing a worn alternator, compare the old unit side by side where possible. Check the pad mount style, mount leg thickness of 56mm, and overall size before finalising the order. Those details are often the difference between a straightforward replacement and a unit that needs bracket or pulley changes.
Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.
For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number AXA983 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number AXA983, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.
For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 95 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
Available application references include FORD COURIER, FORD COURIER 2005, FORD COURIER 2006, FORD EXPLORER, MAZDA B-SERIES, MAZDA B-SERIES 2000. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.
The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.
Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using part number AXA983, the Autolite style application, and the listed mounting, pulley, and regulator details before purchase. Do not rely on vehicle make alone when checking fitment.
