I have a 1958 International Lo-Boy that I have used to cut about an acre of grass every week of summer, for the last 20 years. This fall, the tractor's ammeter quit showing charge, and started showing about 3 amps discharge while running along. I knew my 6V battery was 5 years old, so I had it checked; it was bad. Put in new battery, started great, but still showing discharge on ammeter. I need a procedure for checking generator and regulator. My instinct would be to look at the brushes, but the generator is inside the hood and (I assume) not easy to remove. What can I determine by working at the regulator terminals? I do have a working multi-meter. Any help appreciated.
