Hi all.
Don't want to just sign-up to this deal and start asking stuff so Here's a little about me
I am retired Army up in Dalbo (near Cambridge) Mn. built on 10 acres in '03. retired in 06, bought a farmall 300, side rake, bailer, syckle cutter, and am doing my own hay.
I've split this tractor 2wice and learned a lot. Now I'm running into charging issues.
I follow the (converted 12V) alt., single wire, to the dash where it goes to a on off toggle. then to a voltage regulator on the left side. At least that what a picture of the replacement item shows on Yesterdays tractor replacement part list. I'm pretty sure I fried something somewhere as I saw smoke coming from the dash at one point after I tried replacing the toggle.
All finished with replacing the switch. started cleaning out the cow pen and the gage showed the batt charging. Didn't have a problem the rest of the day. Went out this morning and ran her a bit, shut it down after noticing that the gage didn't look like it did yesterday. Not charging I figured. Went to start it back up. no deal, battery drained.
Should I replace the voltage regulator, the alternator, or wiring, or all of the above?
