Good Morning John T.

This a follow up question to you on your excellant test procedure for tractor generators with cutouts and VR. I have a Farmall Super A with a rebuilt Generator, new Voltage Regulator, and new meter. I have a Farmall H with a cutout. I am focusing on the H first. From my previous post I am having problems seeing and charging on my ammeter for my Farmall H. The generator is rebuilt. The ammeter is new. The tractor has a cutout that is a few years old. Here are my findings from the good instructions you gave me. I have 6.05 Volts on each side of the ammeter. I have 6.05 Volts at the BAT terminal on the cutout. When I start the tractor I have 5.85 Volts on the ammeter and am showing a slight negative discharge. I have 5.85 Volts on the BAT terminal on the cutout. If I touch the Generator ARM post I read 7.5 to 8.0 Volts with the tractor running. When I jumper the BAT and GEN terminals on the cutout together my BAT terminal on the cutout reads 5.85 again. I am particularly interested in you reference to the Field wire going to the light switch. I have added ground wires to the generator housing and the light switch. I don't understand what is going on at/in the light switch. Can you give me some advise on what is going on. Also, the tractor lights do not change intensity when I rev up the engine but the ammeter goes negative by several amps. Thanks for your help. Repectfully - Larry
