: Having trouble with my tractor in that it wants to overcharge my battery. I managed to actually boil over my battery one day. My ammeter at mowing speeds shows between 25 and 30 and never does drop off back to zero after starting as I have been told it would. Both the voltage regulator and altenator are new, but before I replaced the old altenator I polarized after installing the new regulator. I did not realize that the installation instructions which came with the new regulator were written with a generator in mind. Could this have ruined the regulator? The problem may be compounded because I have a on/off toggle switch installed, this has one wire coming in from the key switch and another leading out and connected to the screw marked BAT on the regulator. The altenator was from an auto parts store and I do not believe it has an internal voltage regulator as it was cheap $32. any help ideas would be appreciated, also if someone has a 12 volt wiring diagram for an electrical novice that would also be appreciated. Tha : nks I put a GM altenator on my pony it has a built in regulator. You'll need to put a small indicator lamp in line from the battery to excite the field or it will not charge , I put mine in line with the kill switch. It works fine and never over charges the battery. Good luck.
