I have a 1010 that is not charging the battery. I can jump start tractor to get it running and it runs fine. When I pull the hot wire off of the battery it will cut off. If the generator is charging properly isn't it suppose to keep the motor running if you do this? I took the generator apart and looked at the brushes and all. Everything looked o.k. to me. I put a digital volt meter on the studs coming off the generator but the voltage was jumping everywhere. I don't really know how to check it anyway. I was going to look at the voltage regulator for broke wires and such. I really do not know how to check it either. I took the screws out of the dash panel but it looks like I may have to take the steering wheel off to get the regulator out. I don't really want to have to do that. Can anyone help me? Any help is appreciated, Oh yea I poste a while back about how to find out what model the 1010 is but I can not find the tag on the engine block that yall said should be there. How else can I tell what model it is? Thanks again!
Donnie,

I think theres a safty thing so when the hot wire comes off the tractor wont run. I think John Deere made that so you can't run a tractor without the battery. My M does that. You also may have a bad battery. You could have a dead cell. As far as the jumping around with the volts that sounds like as bad regulator. I have no clue about the tag on the engine.

Thanks for your help. I talked to a guy at work tonight and he said he thought that when you use a alternator you could pull the hot wire off the battery and it would still run but not so if you are using a generator. I put a new battery in the tractor but I have the same problem. I am going to try and check the voltage regulator tommorrow. Sure is about to worry the mess out of me!
