I converted my side mount 8N from 6V to 12V with a kit I bought. The kit came with mounting brackets, alt, and new 12V coil. I hooked it up and started right up and was charging around 14V. Everything looked fine.
I started it another day, and I noticed the ammeter was all the way to the right over charging. I noticed my battery was bubbling out the top. I put a meter on the battery and it was reading around 20V.
The company I bought it from sent me a relalcement alt. I put it on and the same result. Worked perfect for a short while. Then the battery started bubbling again and the ammeter over to the right charging 20V.
It is a single wire alternator. The wire that is connected to the alt is hot even with the key off. Negative ground.
I called the company and they will refund, but I need to send it all back. They don't love me anymore.
The tractor runs fine. Obviously, I have something wrong.
