I'm always messin around with stuff and most of the time it works like I think it should, but this one isn't. Here's the deal, I have an old tractor that was 6 volt + ground converted to 12 volt - ground and using the 6 volt generator to charge the battery. Have a relay hooked up to carry juice from the arm terminal to the ammeter, energized by the key and a oil pressure switch for ground, that works great to break the circuit when engine is off. I have a light switch from a WD with the resistor hooked to the field terminal so that it won't charge too hard, the problem is it charges full bore, even with the field terminal unhooked. It's a two brush autolite generator 6 volt 14 amp. Hooked on 12 volt it charges 28 amps at about half throttle, I was thinking it would charge about 8 to 10 through the resistor and be good enough. I have continuity from the arm terminal to case and also to the field to arm and the case, What gives?? or am I trying to do the impossible.Thanks for your thoughts, I know I should put an alt on it, I'm just messing around.

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
