Had my MM UB out yesterday for prep. for some spring plowing. The battery had been on a float charge and the tractor started right up.

While hooking up the plow the engine stalled and as I attempted to restart, the battery was dead-nothing.I am assuming it stalled because it had no spark. I put the charger on it and it took a charge and I restarted it. My question is what are the procedures to check to see if the generator is putting out an adequate charge. I have a good digital meter. Thanks in advance for any help. JM
