Quite simply, the needle should move to the right of center while the tractor is running, and to the left of center when the tractor is not running. There's no set amount of needle movement for each specific tractor, contrary to what some people would have you believe. The charging systems are essentially the same on all these Farmalls, and the amount the needle moves depends on many variables: 1. How much load is on the electrical system (lights, etc.). 2. How good the charging system is (generator and regulator, or alternator). 3. The condition of the battery, or how much you had to crank the tractor to get it running (a weak battery will cause the needle to move farther to the right while the tractor is running). In a nutshell, if it moves to the right when the tractor is running, it's working fine.
