I have a farmall super C that I recently had the generator serviced and put on a new V.R. and coil. The generator gets so hot that you can't touch it and the coil gets hot. Is this normal or have I wired something wrong. I hand crank this tractor to start it, battery is dead. However it does show discharge when the switch is pulled out and charge while its running now... I have cleaned up the ground on the POS and NEG terminals on the batttery and where they bolt to the frame and starter.. any suggestions are appreciated..[/b]

Check your wiring diagram again. Make sure all of the conections are on the correct places. If those are all ok it may be your VR.

Did you polarize the gen and which ground are you using. Loosen up the belt to see if the gen is motorizing

If the battery is dead your generator will get hot when it is running. It is going to be at maximum output all the time.
There is no provision for cooling on those generators so the heat really builds up ion them when the run at maximum load. Try charging your battery first and make sure that it is good and will hold a charge. Once the battery is charged I think you will find the generator will run cooler.

The bad battery must be replaced before changing anything else. Jim
