6v Generator

Jim Paterson · Jul 29, 2012

I have a six volt generator for my '44 H, but I'm not sure if it works. Is there a way to test it off of the tractor?

Simple test is the motor test. Hook it up with a set of jumper cable or some such wire. Ground the case and then touch the other wire from a battery to the post if it has one or if 2 then try each one. Just a short touch to see it is motors. If it spins it is most likely good

You can use your analog meter pos ground to the gen and other lead to the A terminal set meter on a 2v scale and spin gen by hand if its any good it will read something depending on how fast you spin the gen. Remember to polarize the gen by jumping from batt term on the reg to the ARMATURE terminal on the gen and be sure to hook the ground cable on the battery to POSITIVE ground as your regulator wont like Neg GROUND it wasnt made for that.
