went to my dads again today, his 2n won't turn over again, thinking it was one of three things, starter, cutout relay or push
button not grounding to complete loop. all check out in working order, his freshly charged battery showed 6.25 as soon as i push starter button is drops immediately to 4 volts and obviously won't turn over, i brought a backup 6v battery freshly charged and tractor fired right up.
questions...
he uses a battery tender to maintain battery charge, could he have over charged his batteries?
he's 82, if reversed the clamps could that have ruined the battery and caused the battery to be charged but not hold a charge
later?
the one wire genny at 1/2 throttle shows on analog meter 6.5 volts, could that eventually drain battery, is that enough? i know it
should show 7.4, even after playing with hi/lo adjustment on genny
at this point i can't get his tractor to fail
any input would be great
