OEX Alternator 12V 135A Autolite Style AXA970

The OEX Alternator AXA970 is a new 12V alternator rated at 135A and built in an Autolite style configuration. It suits a single leg alternator mount, uses a 6 groove pulley with a clutch type pulley, and has an internal regulator for the listed application.

Key identifying dimensions include a 10mm pivot hole diameter, 10mm adjusting hole diameter, 110mm mount centre to centre, 26mm mount leg thickness, and a 60mm pulley outside diameter. The unit weighs 6.72kg and is sold as each.

This alternator is listed under OEX part number AXA970 and OEM number 3L74-10300-AA. The product is backed by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty, which is useful to note when matching the replacement to the vehicle and duty cycle.

Fitment data is provided for Ford and FPV applications, including Ford Fairlane, Fairmont, Falcon, LTD, Mustang, Tickford TE 50, Tickford TS 50, and FPV Falcon variants. The listed compatibility spans multiple model years, so the exact vehicle application still needs to be checked against the part number and alternator mounting details.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the alternator on the vehicle matches the listed Autolite style, single leg mount, and the recorded dimensions: 110mm mount centre to centre, 26mm mount leg thickness, and 10mm pivot and adjusting holes. Those checks matter because the same 12V 135A rating can still be used across different physical layouts.

The pulley specification is also important. This unit uses a 6 groove clutch pulley with a 60mm outside diameter, so the drive belt arrangement needs to match the vehicle’s existing setup. If the belt profile or pulley type differs, the alternator may not suit the application even when the electrical rating looks similar.

The unit has an internal regulator and a pin code of IR81, so the wiring and regulation arrangement should be compared with the existing alternator before purchase. Matching the part number AXA970, and where relevant the OEM number 3L74-10300-AA, is the safest way to narrow the replacement correctly.

Because the fitment list covers a range of Ford and FPV models, model year alone is not enough to confirm suitability. Use the vehicle’s current alternator details, mounting style, and part identifiers together, especially if the vehicle has had previous repairs or electrical modifications.

If the vehicle is used in commercial service, the warranty period is listed as 1 year commercial. For passenger use, the warranty is listed as 3 years. Keep the purchase record and verify the replacement is installed against the stated specifications so the correct unit is fitted from the start.

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 AXA970 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 AXA970, 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 135 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include FORD FAIRLANE, FORD FAIRLANE 2003, FORD FAIRLANE 2004, FORD FAIRLANE 2005, FPV FALCON, FPV FALCON 2003. 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using the OEX part number AXA970, OEM number 3L74-10300-AA, the Autolite style single leg mount, and the recorded pulley and mounting dimensions before ordering.
