I have a Massey Harris 101 Junior with an Autolite 6 V 3rd brush generator. Just lately, it seems to be charging at a much higher amperage rate than before. With the 3 position light switch in position #1 (low charge), the charge rate approaches 20 amps when in operating RPM range. It drops off to about 3-4 amps at slow idle in this #1 position. When in the #2 (high charge) position, it pins the needle past the top 20-amp mark on the ammeter. When in #3 (high charge with the lights on)it drops back down a bit but still approaches 20 amps of charge. Seems to me this is a bit high. The 3rd brush is adjusted into the lowest amperage output position in its rotation.
Here is my question ..... does this seem to be somewhat high for amp output? And can my battery be damaged by this rate of charge?
