There are only two possible reasons for excessive voltage. One , easiest to check and repair is the sense lead that goes to number two termial. If that connection is not good , meaning making a tight clean connection to the spade on the regulator, your voltage can be all over the place. I used to play with those connectors while running alternators on the test stand. I found that if I inserted a variable resistor (pot) in line from battery to number two I could get readings way up to 20 volts. Seems backwards as one would think a poor connection would lead to lower voltage but IH had sent out a bulletin warning of these conditions. Therefore, if that wire and connector are good, check the main wire all the way to battery. Other problem would be alternator itself. Some times the current draw through the field (rotor) seems to destroy a regulator. I have had about three alternators that I replaced regulators, rotors, diode bridge, diode trio (everything but the stators) and they still over charged. Different alt and problem solved. Also, there has been a rash of poor quality regulators in the parts systems.

We have two types of industry up here, one being "Forestry" (Wood Products) and the other "Farming" (Potatoes). There is no shortage of farm tractors and equipment around here! I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed. My wife who works at a local school, and only has weekends and summers off, while on t
