I have a MF 175 that is having some electrical issues. I recently rewired and fixed all of the lights. It turned out the old glass tube fuses were rusted real bad, and wires were heating up, voltage was low- it was a mess. After putting in new blade fuses, acid now leaks everywhere when the tractor is running, leading me to believe the alternator is overcharging the battery.
I not been able to locate a wiring diagram with an alternator- this tractor originally came with a generator (I bought it with the alternator already on it)
I have drawn up this rough sketch of the current schematic, and included a picture of the alternator. The "BAT" terminal on the alternator is connected to one side of the ammeter, and the other side of the ammeter is connected to the battery via the starter solenoid top connection. Should this "Bat" side of the alternator be going through the regulator before connecting to the battery?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
