I recently purchased a Super C that is not charging. It will run for about a hour or so until the battery drains down and then dies. I pulled the alt off and gave it to my buddy to test and he said it's not charging, so he's going to either go through that one and rebuild it, or give me another GM 1 wire to put on in its place. My question is, all 12v tractors I've ever seen have a ballast resistor mounted near the distributor cap. This is my first 12v tractor and I know next to nothing about 12v conversions other than what I've seen. I wondered if not having one could have something to do with my charging problems. It has no resistor, a one wire hook up to the back of the alt, and the coil is a delco remy but I can't tell if it's a 12v or 6v coil, it's not marked. But the NEG side of the coil wire goes to the distributor.
