Hey Gang,
I posted a message in tractor talk,guess I should've put it in here seeins how I have an 8n Ford anyway I went through the charging system all the way. The wires are all hooked up right,everythings grounded right,continuity check at each wire and so on but still no charge.There is a brand new regulator on it when I bought it.Ok so here's the deal.When I hold in on the contacts of the regulator,it does charge really well,which is great as I thought I was in for a new genny.So here's what I did. I removed the reg. and cover and I soldered a wire to one side of the contacts and a wire to the other side. I punched a hole in the reg. cover and ran a toggle switch in the left side of the dash. So now instead of holding the contacts closed, I just throw the switch on for around an hour or so to recharge the battery.NOW! here's the kicker.The tractor was born around the same time I was (1952. I think Im gonna have to make a BIG sign in bright orange letters to tell me to turn the switch on only when the tractor is runnin and to turn it off before I shut it down. Now I know on some friday night,I'm gonna be playing around,gettin drunk and leave the switch on all night. Nice talkin to y'all. Doug
