My neighbor has a Ford 2000, mid sixty's model that is having an electrical problem. It has an idiot light for the ammeter. The light stays on all the time and the battery is not being kept charged. I am an Allis Chalmers person so I don't know just where to start on a blue tractor. Could there be a problem other than the generator? Where do I start? I am using this tractor to keep the grass mowed for this widow neighbor.(She is 81) Any help will be appreciated.

Is this a 3 or 4 cyl.? If it is a 3 cyl., it should have an alternator, not a generator. Either way, any decent electrical shop can rebuild this for MUCH less than a new alternator or generator would cost.

Try the old battery post trick: With the tractor running, loosen and take off the positive side of the battery. If she keeps running, chances are that it ain't the charging system. If she quits, it probably is.

Good Luck!

I've got a '66 3000, and back when it wasn't being used much, the brushes in the generator would like to stick, causing it not to charge. I could take a small hammer and tap around the back of it a little and get it working just fine. You might want to try this, just a thought. But it is possible that the old generator has just had it and needs to be replaced. Most say if you have to replace one, go ahead and put an alternator on. You can get kits to do it and it's my understanding that's it's really not that hard to do. Knock on wood, my old generator still works just fine. You might also want to check all the connections, just trace all the wires and if you've got one, use a multimeter to check all of them and the connections. This is just what I'd do, hope it helps a little. Casey
