My 6V system won't charge. I took all the connections apart and got them "clean, bright and tight". Re-polarized the generator, still NG. I charged the battery, started the tractor and took a voltmeter reading from the armeture wire to field terminal. It's going to discharge on one field terminal, the other is hard to get a read on, either nuetral or a slight discharge. Fan belt is adjusted correctly. Looks like original generator. Is my generator shot? All input appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for all the tips. I haven't done any further troubleshooting yet because I seem to have come down with a virus. Itching and tingling of hands and feet. Swollen hands and feet. (Difficult to walk). I mowed ~3 acres on Sunday and came down with these symptoms Monday night. I thought maybe Lime Disease, Poison Oak, Ivy etc. Saw the Doc Tuesday afternoon. He say's it looks viral. Gave me two bottles of pills and took bloodwork. I have to call back for the bloodwork results later today. In the meantime I have been reading the FO-4 manual. If I can walk without pain tomorrow I'll figure this charging problem out. Thanks.

by "dischange" do you mean voltage is below 6V? With a voltmeter you should get about 7V between the armature and the ground terminal if the gen. is working OK.

Do as BJ suggests and try motoring the gen. If it motors OK then you may have a bad regulator. There are a set of tests in the FO-4 manual on how to check out the regulator.

Generators aren't that hard to rebuild if they don't fail the sniff test--smell like burning electrical components.

Simplest check is disconnect the wiring, disconnect the fan belt, put battery voltage on it. If it motors it will generate. FO 4 manual tells all.

Your mileage may vary

I used the information from Claus's web page when I needed to repair the 6 volt system on one of my 850's. Easy to follow and nailed the problem dead on.
