Continental F162 Charging system

molinegb · Mar 28, 2015

What system was used on the F162? Have 2 Long A's and one has a Delco 000048E29 gen and other has Chrysler setup. Want to stay with original 6v. The generators are both shot.

A shop that rebuilds alternators, generators and starters may be able to rebuild them. I think 6 volt alternators are available. Hal

Here's a place to get replacement generators. Hal

Gary: all the F-162engines I have run into had a Delco but one. It had a Prestolite.

Noboby repairs generators around my area. I usually do my own. Being a Long Model A,I don''t know what is original. Both will spin if 6 v applied but no output but battery voltage. I am missing something.

Have you measured your charging voltage at the battery? On a 6 volt battery you should see about 7.5 to 8 volts with the engine at 1/2 throttle or better. Hal

Voltage is same as battery. It never moves higher when changing rpm.

The problem may be the regulator. Hal

You can replace the generators with 6 volt alternators that use positive grounds. Hal

Want to keep tractor original.

There are times you need to modify. Here's the shop that rebuilt my DR generator in 2008. They said they can rebuild the 6 volt generators. You can call them or write them. They do good work. Hal

They would need to check out your generators before giving you a price. It's going to be expensive being in Canada
with shipping charges. You can call them with the model numbers off your old generators to see if they have 6 volt replacements. Hal

Did you polarize it, some times we forget???

Finally got fed up! Found a Massey 27 combine with original components, Pulled off reg and generator and wiring. Cleaned up generator, installed and it works like a charm. Thanks guys for input! Combine had been sitting for 50 years but regulator worked!
