Hoping for some help from the gang. Went out to my H the other morning (has been converted to 12V)hopped on and it would not start. Absolutely nothing there. The battery is new and it has been starting great lately. I jumped it and drove it to the gas station around the corner and filled it up, as the tank was bone dry. Needed a jump to get it back on the road. The battery had not been charged at all by the alternator. As I was driving toward the field I was going to bush hog, it started running real rough. It would not run at all in road gear. After about 20 minutes, just as I was pulling it into the field, it just shut down. Would not start. Would not turn over. A friend came and jumped it and it would run for a minute or two and start to skip and miss and then shut down. We let it run for a while hooked up to a 12V source and it ran great. No skips, or misses and no shutting down. Given that the battery is new, could it be that the alternator went bad? Any other suggestions? I checked for fuel contamination, but ruled that out. One other thing, the rear light stays on now when I have the front lights on, no matter what position the rear light switch is in. It never did that before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to mow soon.
