Last fall my Gleaner L3 ran into an electrical problem. Ran fine all day, ran the battery down with the headlights on in one round. Seemed odd
as the combine uses a fair amount of juice for the electric clutches and all. I felt in was going to be some bad wire deep in the harness that was
on the light circuit.
Rather than create a worse downtime problem I finished out the season as it was; as it showed up when we finally got nice weather and had to
run, not sit around with wrenches and down time.
Warmed up enough finally to handle some tools, took the alternator in and the test showed a bad diode, I'm happy.
Can pay the man to rehab the alternator, and I don't have the chore of trying to track down some deeply buried electrical glitch on the machine.
I think I mentioned it here last fall, so following up, a few folks mentioned check the alternator first......
