My 5200 has been the greatest tractor that ever rolled out of either the Romeo plant or Highland park plant.Now having said that, i find the generator on it leaves alot to be desired. If i use the tractor every day. it seems to be able to keep the battery charged, but when conditions get dusty, the generator gives out.When i run the tractor less frequently,the starter moans when starting,eventually the battery gives out and i put a battery charger on it and its good for another month or so(battery is from NH and is about 2years old).Now if the tractor sits for more then a few days, i take the ground cable off and battery stays charged.Generator was rebuilt 16months ago along with the regulator.Im thinking its time to go to an alternator, my 3600 has an alternator and is trouble free.Anybody have any suggestions
