I am working on my late grandpa"s H. After start up, I can give it a little throttle, and the needle on the amp gauge comes up and stays up, but usually only about 3 amps or so. This is fine usually, but when I turn the lights on, the needle deflects to discharging. Is there a way to turn up the amperage on this generator to get it charging more with the lights on? For some reason, I recall someone saying you can adjust the position of the brushes in the case to increase or decrease charging amperage. This tractor does have a switch on the "dash" for high or low charging rate. It only charges 3 amps when set to high. Connections have been cleaned just recently to fix a starting problem. This tractor is still on 6 volt, and does not have a distributor. We don"t really do much with the tractor as its a show tractor mostly. It does have the odd pulling job around the property though, so it still gets used.
Is there anything else I should check? Is there something with the switch on the "dash" that would keep the generator from charging fully? Thanks for the help.
