I"m glad I searched and found this discussion on Ammeters.

I have had problems starting my Farmall A for awhile and just assumed it was the battery without knowing if I have done anything wrong.

I recently bought the book How to Restore your Farm Tractor by Robert Pripps and discovered what might be my problem.

On page 15 I read about usage of the Ammeter (which before today I thought was merely a light switch). It appears as if I have not been running my tractor right since I never turn on the Ammeter until dark (when I need lights)

Am I correct in my interpretation of the info about Ammeters that normal runnnig means using the ammeter? Would doing so charge the battery and correct my bad starting problems?

Along with your yes or no answer if you could explain simply what the Ammeter does and basically how it does so this electric deficient fool would love to learn about it.

Thanks

Al
