The original subject was "IH 354 Help".
Hey everybody - It's been a while since I've been on here, but I ran into a problem and need some help.
The battery on my tractor stopped charging sometime last year, so I figured it was probably just the old battery - Swapped it out for a new interstate one and replaced the
connectors as well because they looked rough. It worked great for about 3-4 cranks and then I was back in the same boat again.
So I took the generator off because I figured it was probably dead, hooked it up using some jumper cables, and it spins fine.
I put everything back together and left the hood off so I could make sure the generator was spinning and it is. The light on the dash with the lightening symbol on it
(which I was told should turn off to indicate that the battery is charging) cuts on when you crank it and then turns off after just a few seconds.
Could it be that the generator just isn't putting off enough power?
