Just replaced the VR on a Ford 641 with 6 V positive ground.
Previous VR was suspected faulty (no charge warning light on
constantly when tractor was running, but extinguished when
BAT and ARM terminals jumpered at fast idle). When opened,
the previous VR was stuck closed on the side between ARM
and FLD terminals.
Tractor is now charging, but voltage reads between 7.2 (slow
idle) and 8.4 V (~1500 rpm) across battery terminals when
running. This appears to be high compared to recommended
value of ~7.4 V. Is this a problem?
