Farmall H wont charge. Could it be a ground problem?

Posted by atw on August 14, 2002 at 10:06:36 from (208.247.107.130):

I recently finished a restoration on my Farmall H.
Now the generator won't charge the battery. I had the generator & regulator (cutout relay) checked. They work fine. Brand new OEM wiring harness, battery, 1 ga. battery cables, and Rochester ammeter. Everything electrical is either brand new, rebuilt, or checks out fine. Could I have a ground problem because of all the new paint on the tractor? The machines former owner said I have to make sure the ammeter is grounded to the switch box for the system to work. Does this sound right? Everything else electrical works fine; headlights, tailight, starter, engine ignition, etc. Please help if you can.
