First, I'd like to say thanks to all wh read and responded to my earlier post. Here's what I've found:
Tractor will charge as it should at all throttles. Start it, charges 10 or so amps, and drops off after a few minutes to 5 amps or so.
My only problem is when I turn the lights on. They seem to pull 15-20 amps for some reason. This will cause a discharge of about 10 amps. I don't have any extra lights on it. There are 3 25 watt bulbs and one watt unknown bulb on the tractor's light circuit.
I'm still puzzled by this. My C never had a problem this way. I'd start it, it would charge at about 10 amps, I'd turn on the lights, and it would bounce the ammeter, ant then continue to charge at about 5 amps. I don't see why this ferguson won't continue to charge with the lights on.
I may have to leave well enough alone at this point. I don't like the situation, but it will run and charge as long as you don't use the lights. I've got to talk to the owner of the tractor and get his opinion. I have not done that yet.

Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
