"used red MN" mentioned... "A lot of the info is just basic electrical knowledge so it can be applied broadly to many things."
Much of that literature is basic electricity. But, the section, (Charging Circuit) on how the generator and regulator function together...WoW!
I kept getting lost when reading, "The field series windings on the regulator might be considered an accelerator coil in that it causes the points to vibrate more rapidly...when...points...closed...windings aid...open...collapse...zzzz
...whAT!
Okay. Pass on the theory, just Johns trouble shooting. I can follow his style of instructions. Passionately punctuated for the readers benefit.
...and now I have both the regulator and generator opened up again just to check my previous work. Which looks and checks okay.
I should had printed out his instructions. I didn't have the tractor grounded when doing the motor test. (need more sleep)
I did get something out that book. The ability to set the cut-in just above idle. Or, that it needs to be to prevent burning/pitting of the points on the regulator.
And that I have a combined voltage and current regulator.
Also, that engines don't idle at uniform speeds.
J-uhh!

That "Charging Circuit" section really stretched my neurons.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
