I am working on a TO35 with an electrical problem that I cant seem to chase down. It has been converted to 12v with a 1 wire alternator. I am having trouble getting the tractor to charge. Battery is new, cables are new and the battery is grounded directly to the chassis, solenoid is new, alternator and all wiring is new. I am sure that the battery and alternator both have clean grounds. I had the alternator wired directly to the hot post on the solenoid and cannot get it to show a charge. all I get when I test with a voltmeter is a battery voltage reading. Anywhere within the entire system all I can find with the tractor running is battery voltage. I have been told as well that it sometimes works better to wire the alternator directly to the positive terminal on the battery so I tried that with the same results. I have also tried a different alternator and still cant get it to show a charge and I find it rather far fetched that I have two bad alternators. What am I missing? this tractor has me so frustrated I'm about to pull my hair out, this isn't a complicated system!
