Ok, I need some electrical 101 help. I've got 2
tractors with bad systems. I wish to keep them
standard, 6 volt postive ground. That's just
how I am. The IH 300 I've got a new battery, new
generator, & new regulator - and it will
discharge - sometimes - when not running.
Very frustrating. Sometimes it won't have any
juice to restart after being off for an hour.
Sometimes it works fine even after being off
for 2 days.... I suspect the NEW regulator, but
could be other things? Any way I can test this
critter out? It appears to work right when
running, the ammeter shows good charge at
first, little charge in a while, only discharges at
very slow idle... Then I have a Ford 960. This puppy doesn't
charge at all. Bad generator, or bad regulator?
What wires do I cross to bypass the regulator
& see if it charges? (Battery holds a charge
when pumped up with the charger, so that's
good.) In general I've checked the connections &
wiring for the obvious, and I have a Radio
Shack volt/amp meter to test things, if you tell
me where to test... ;) Maybe with 2 bad ones, I will actually learn this
stuff & won't have to bug everybody again!
Thanks, --->Paul

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
