Hi folks,
My cousin has a Ford 1510 tractor that had the battery explode a few weeks ago. Come to discover that the charging system has been overcharging the battery & apparently had boiled all the water out & shorted across the plates. He purchased a new battery & checked the voltage that the alternator/voltage regulator was putting out & it is 19.5 volts. He ordered a new voltage regulator from the same aftermarket supplier thinking that the 1st one mite be bad & the 2nd one is also putting out 19.5 volts too. The alternator was replaced several months prior but is working as it should. The voltage regulator is a manual type(not electronic).
Hoping someone can shed some light on this. We've searched for a electrical diagram(schematic) to no avail.
Thanks for any & all help,
David B in Mississippi
