: : : : I am working on my case 300 again. Cant seem to get my tractor to charge my battery. With some advice I have checked the generator. I grounded the "field" terminal of the generator and the ampmeter jumps to about a +10 or so. Does anyone know if this proves my generator and ampmeter are okay. I would assume they are? I made this assumption and took my voltage regulator apart and cleaned off all of the points and electrical connections. My amp meter still doesn't show a positive charge. Does anyone have any ideas. Could I have a junk voltage regulator. If I do, is there any way to check? : : : Karl,
: : : I assume your battery is going dead from lack of charge? Sounds like you checked your generator and its OK. Have you checked the battery? EEA : : My battery goes dead after about 3. I can tell when it is going, because the starter turns over slower. I just throw the battery charger on it and holds a charge for 3 weeks, at least enough charge to start the tractor.
: : -Karl : Karl, I'd try a new regulator. It's either that or a problem in the wiring harness. EEA By grounding the field you bypassed the regulator this idicates that the generator is ok
and the problem is probably the regulator. when
you cleaned the points you may have altered the adjustments of the points. it could possibly be readjusted, but it is probably easier for you to
replace it if you dont have a manual to show you how to adjust it.
