I went out to start my diesel and some dummy left the key on after pulling the fuel shutoff. Someday I will learn. Well no big problem I'll just get the charger. My charger is a Schumaker 40/ 200 amp boost unit both 6 and 12 volts. It has a dial timer with an off position and a dial voltage amp selector with an off position an an amp meter. I always set the selector switch and then turn on the timer. I had last used the charger on my 6v case 200. So I hook it all up set it to 12 v/10amp charge and the meter is showing 20 amps. I shut it off check all my connections set it to 12v/ 40 amps and the meter shows 80 amps. hmmm? So I shut it down and rotate the selector dial through all the positions (off, 6v/10amp, 6v/40amp 100amp boost, 12v/10 amp, 12v/40amp 200amp boost). Set it back to 12/10 and same thing happens, so afraid something might get burned up I turned it off. Then just out of curiosity iI set the selector to off and turned on the timer and it runs and shows 20 amps. What the ???
So I think that something is stuck on the 6 volt setting. One final thing I did was take it to the 200 and hook it up at 6/10 and again at 6/40 and the amperage read correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions other than get a new charger? I've had this one since the early 80s and it has saved me many a time. Phil

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
