I have a 2N with conventional 6 volt, Positive ground. What is the proper setting for the three brush gen? With tractor running at 2/3 throttle, I read 8.5- 11 volts across battery terminals at all three gen settings. Ammeter reads 4 amps at low, 10 amps at middle, and 14 amps at high. Does it make any difference where the gen is set? Does the gen output only determine how long to recharge the batt?

I have searched the archives and have not been able to find the answer to the above.

Really a lot of good information on this site. If only I had found it before buying a tractor. This tractor was advertised as an 8 and is painted as an 8 but it is a 2. Wish I could re-negotiate the deal knowing what I have learned from this site.

Keep the setting on the low side. Even with the low setting you will probably overcharge the battery. I do not like to see a 3 cell battery get above 7.75 volts. If you have lights, keep them on. As you know, these single terminal generators do not employ a voltage regualtor. Some people convert to a 12 volt AC Generator. Others like to convert to a 3 terminal generator with a voltage regulator. Either is an expensive proposition. There is a company, that claims to have a voltage regulator inside a cutout relay enclosure. I do not know how good they are or how they work, since there is no control of the field winding, maybe they have a heavy shunt resistor inside that would kick in when the voltage got too high.
Good Luck and Happy Motoring
