Voltage problem--- Help

Posted by K.B. in Pa. on August 14, 2006 at 14:28:00 from (69.72.120.127):

I bought a IH 350U at an auction (so I have no idea about it's history) and it had a dead 8 volt battery in it. I looked at the tractor and it has a Gen. and a votage regulater and is pos. ground so I assumed the tractor was 6 volt.So I bought a new 6 volt battery. I've been starting to work on the tractor and moving it around and the battery keeps going down after 6-7 starts. I charge the battery and load test it and it is good. Check the tractor to see if it is charging and find out it is puting out 14.3 volts. a 6 volt gen. can't put out 14.3 volts can it?Or maybe is it a 12 volt gen.? How can I tell? Everyone I talked to says they never heard of a pos. ground gen. except one guy said they made them on some Euapean equipment. I don't have the tools here to fab. up bracets to hold an alternater, don't want to or have the money to spend right now to buy an alt. (why sould I what the heck the gen. is working right?)I cn't just put a 12 volt battery in it can I? So now what do I do?Any ideas? Thanks for the help ahead of time folks!
