I recently purchased a 1959 641 that has seen better days. I've cleaned the carb, was able to unstick the clutch, and I'm ready to tackle the electrical system.
The tractor had been sitting so I charged the battery and it cranks and runs but is not charging.
What I know is that a 12v battery is installed and hooked up negative ground, the coil is 12v, and it has a generator.
Does this sound like a stock configuration for the year and model and if so where can I find a wiring diagram.
The harness has a few splices and terminal ends in poor condition, a dash mounted stater switch is installed. I don't know if the generator and regulator are actually 12v.
I don't mind investing in the tractor to have a reliable electrical system. My first choice would be to troubleshoot what I have and repair it, it may just be a open or incorrect connection.
It all else fails I could install a 12v conversion using a new harness but again my first choice would be to fix what I have rather than just throw cash at it.
