'55 960 6v 172ci
The ammeter, which is new, flutters and jumps around crazy. Then it will stop and sit still for a few seconds and then goes right back to jumping around. I've switched the wires around and back again. Doesn't matter which way it's hooked up. Currently, the hot wire is connected to the neg side of ammeter. I've searched the posts and have not found a definitive answer. The tractor is starting fine and the battery shows 6.35v post to post. I checked the wires from the ammeter and get just over 6v on my meter when tractor is off and switch is on and 0.00 when switch is off so I'm thinking the charging system is ok. Bad ammeter? Voltage reg shot? Possibly a loose connection somewhere? I'm usually a patient guy but this one is driving me insane. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil
