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

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
