I have a related problem.... My tractor would run before I took the old generator off but would only run for a few minutes until battery was drained - I assumed the generator wasn't charging sufficiently. As soon as I charged the battery with a charger, it would crank/run and cut off after battery went down. The battery is new so not sure what is going on. I did not run it much until recently after putting the battery in because I was working on the hydraulics.
I got a rebuilt generator with a voltage regulator from a battery/starter outfit. The guy wired the terminals as follows: regulator "F" to generator "F" & regulator "Gen" to generator "A".
At first I took it home tried to hook up the two existing wires on tractor: one "negative" to "BAT" on regulator and the other to "F" on generator. I had to ground the regulator to generator mounting bolt. The tractor would not start even though the engine will turn over. I tried a few more things but nothing while trying to compare to existing wiring diagrams but they are for cut out relays.
This morning I went back to the repair guy and he told me to connect the regulator "Bat" to my tractor wire "negative from ammeter" because positive is ground which I did/know. He said that the other wire to light switch did not need to be hooked up.
I have not got a chance to try this yet but does this wiring hook up sound correct?
