super 88 Battery Drain

ColeHans · Nov 7, 2016

a few months ago i bought a Super 88 Gas wide front with power steering, ran great all summer pulling and green chopping, now it sat for 2 weeks while we did Beans and Corn and now theres no battery power, i pull started it and let it charge itself up, after i parked it i went back a couple hours later and it still started, but i went to run feed 2 days after and it was deader then a doornail again. Its a positive ground system and m hired hand had hooked the positive to the starter stud and ground to a frame bolt. im wondering if it fried the regulator on the Generator or if i have a system drain. any help is greatly appriciated

Is there a solenoid on the starter? If not,and he didn't push the button on the dash at the same time,I don't know how the power would have bled back to the regulator. As long as the tractor wasn't touching the vehicle he was jumping it with.

Later one with a solenoid,maybe.

As rrlund says unless he was pushing the starter button =at the same time no way it would have hurt any thing.

But that does not say it is not the V.R. If the V.R. is sticking ti will cause the battery to drain in a short time and also sooner or later can fry the generator due to it having voltage to it and it trying to motor because of it
