I'm working on an International 354 that needed to have the starter relay replaced. Before, the amp light worked correctly and went out as you gave it more throttle. Now, the amp light gets brighter as rpm's increase. Any ideas?

I have one and it does it sometimes too. I finally opened up the voltage regulator and cleaned up the points and the problem went away. Occsionally I start it and the light acts that way, but the amp gage is showing a charge. I just use the tractor and the next time I start it its normal. I don"t know why but its only happens here and there, seems like the regulator sticks or fails. Mine is a lucas and I would hate to know the cost, may replace with a delco.

Thanks for the response. I'll open up the regulator and clean things up. It started happening as soon as the relay was changed so I wondered if by disconnecting the battery the generator needed to be polarized.

Shouldn't need to be repolerized, Check the regulator mounting and make sure it is tight and grounded to shiney metal. The regulator if like mine (a Lucas) will have to be removed to take the cover off. They are sealed with metal fingers around the base and are a PITA, be carefull and it should come apart easy. The wires look permanent on first inspection but plug in the bottem seperately, don't get them mixed up and you should be fine.

On another note, my starter relay crapped out and I called IH to price one and it was over $30.00, got a new Ford one for $6.00, just had to redrill one hole, works the same and way easier to come by.
