Hawkins, 07-29-2012 08:59:01   I am willing to help you with the details if there is a problem. Actually, there is one potential problem that I can see right away. Did the place that re-wied your generator tell you if they re-wired it for positive or negative ground? The original was positive ground, and thus, the original wiring diagram is for positive ground. If they did not tell you, then you can remove the cover from the voltage regulator and look at the color of the insulation on the regulator coil. I think that copper is for positive ground and silver is for negative ground.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Makes a big difference as to the wiring diagram. If 12 volts to me at least it is super simple but 6 volts I do not do   [Reply]  [No Email]

In the 50"s I crank started a "46 or "47 VAI no less than 2 x day from about Oct to Apr for 4 years carrying milk cans out to the paved road loading dock in the early morning and picking up the mt"s every night 6 days a week. Six volt simply was inadequate for reliable starting during the PA winters. Yes we knew all about wire sizes, clean connections, and retarded timing for easier starting. The tractor started right up with the crank. Joe   [Reply]  [No Email]

If I see a tractor for sale that has been changed to 12 volts I walk away because in most cases it was just to mask something that is wrong.   [Reply]  [No Email]

O go with 12 volts for many reasons. #1 I only have a 12 volt charger #2 cheaper in the long run #3 I do not have to have 2 or 3 different size/volt batteries on hand. Plus when you have as many machines as I have it is nice to not have to have a battery for them all   [Reply]  [No Email]
