I suspect some of you have used a 12 v gen in a 6 v system and had it work successfully. I'm working on a 6 v pos ground system that was reported not charging. I found the gen to be labeled as a 12 volt unit. It has a "new" 6 v pos gnd voltage regulater. Ammeter shows small charging, but I measure only 6.5 volts at the battery posts which is too small to really charge so the ammeter showing charge puzzles me. Battery is a new Delco and my next thought is to charge the battery for awhile from an external charger. Yes I did polarize - I know about that. Have also cleaned rust and paint from various places so the VR and gen have good chassis connection. I'm a "sparky" but feel like this system is outsmarting me! Oh yah, the question will probably come out "Do I know for sure that the gen is good"? No I don't and that will be another avenue of "research".
As you can probably tell, I'd rather write about it instead of work on it, LOL.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
