After putting up with a non-functional charging system on our 4610 since 1999, I was bound and determined to fix it this Spring. Since the wiring harness was damaged and jerry rigged by the PO, I decide to create a new alternator wiring system if I could find the key switch in the harness and the wire that went between the alternator lamp and alternator regulator terminal. I thought I found them and low and behold I got the alternator lamp to turn on with the key switch, the alternator started charging but at 18.4V and the lamp would not go out. Foiled again!
Frustrated, I took it to a local tractor repair shop where they spent 4.5 shop hours and got it fixed. They went back to the original wiring and found the bad connections and fixed that and now the system is working as is.
Pride be dammed it"s working and I"m a happy camper! It"s great to just jump on the tractor, turn the key and have it start like the rest of our machines.
