A little background:
49 Cub, chnaged to 12 volt when I got it. I left it this way. The generator was rewound for 12 volt, and had a cut out on it. When I got it, the amp gauge would go up to around 6 or 7 for only a few seconds, then drop to - 2 or 3 and stay there. During restoration, for safteys sake, I had the generator rebuilt, and a new 12 volt regualtor installed and new wiring harness and amp gauge. Still had the same problem with charging, but didnt worry about it.The replaced regualtor hung up and burnt the newly refurbished gen. again had it rebuilt for 12 volt, and still the problem persist....
Now heres my querys: 1. Refresh my memory, on the third brush, moving it close to the other brush INCREASES or DECREASES the amount of charge? 2. Why would one cut out, and 2 regualtors do the excat same thing? It does this no matter how long it has sits in the barn. This last time, it had not been started all year,since last November, and I had to break out the handcrank to get it running the battery had drained that much. 3. Would I be better off to repalce the regulator with a cut out and run the charging rate back through the light switch (4 position)? On that note, if by chance the resistor is bad, can an electronic resistor be used, if so which one? 4.Why is it on 12 volt? As I mentioned it was that way when I got it. 6 volt batteries here are scarce and expensive, and everything else I have here is 12 volt. I have all of my tractor except 2 on a 12 gen/regualtor setup and have very little trouble with them and the charge right 99% of the time. Just cant fiqure out this Cub. 5. Anybody know if the Hitachi alt mentioned the other day will fit with little or no modifiactions?
