Guys -
My son is getting ready to embark on some work on his grampa's Farmall C. I am a steam guy, and an F-series guy. Have little background in these electric start jobbies.
A few years ago, we replaced the 6 volt voltage regulator, and it worked fine. Now, after only a few dozen hours of use, it quit charging. Removing the cover and pressing the contacts together (on a nearly dead battery & a running tractor), it will make a charge, but quit when my finger is removed.
Inside of the regulator is very clean. Tractor was stored under a car-port.
Looking inside, it looks like some electromagnets and contacts. What fails on a regulator? Dirty contacts would think to be easy to clean.
Is there anything that should be checked before we junk it an buy a new one ? It appears to be a pretty simple device.
