Okay, this tractor has just recently changed hands, and of course came with no repair history, recent or otherwise.
It appears to be "mostly" original with 24v starter and two output generator. The starter works fine, but not so the charging system.
I've been websearching for information, diagrams, troubleshooting hints, etc with mixed results. I have a basic idea how the overall system is expected to work, like 12v + ground, 12v - ground, isolated ungrounded charging circuits, split loads and all that.
What I don't know is how to trouble shoot the charging portion. I admit I didn't spend a great deal of time at it today, knowing I needed not only more information, but also a day with better working conditions.
I now have some diagrams to work with and thought the first step might be to remove some panels to access and trace some wires hoping to determine how much of what's there matches the diagram and go from there. I do know the charge light(and possibly more) doesn't work with the key on so that needs to be addressed. Beyond that I'm not sure where to go next in the way of testing the generator, regulator, or anything else.
