I have a 1967 Farmall 706 with a German diesel engine. Last spring (around April) I replaced the alternator and voltage regulator due to a charging problem. Then in July the charging problems started again. I had the dealership work on the tractor because I was out of ideas of what the problem maybe. They ended up replacing the alternator and voltage regulator again. That seemed to fix the problem. Then in October the charging problem returned again. I had the alternator tested and the alternator was bad again. I replaced the alternator. It fixed the problem. I was getting the tractor ready for spring today and I noticed the charging problem is back. I think the alternator has gone bad again. I am going to have it tested tomorrow. What would cause the alternator to go bad so many times? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
