I know this has been hit on before, believe me...I have been looking everywhere for an answer. I purchased a 53 Super A, already converted to a 12 volt system, old girl ran great, but was "patina" in color, wiring harness was home made, etc....so, as I always do...I go in, head first. New cloth wrapped/repo wiring harness, for 12 volt converted Super A's, new steering wheel,fixed a few leaks, painted tractor--automotive green etch, 2k primer/single stage IH-50 red, new lights, new tires, new gauges, switches, radiator fixed and hot tanked, new fan, etc. I still have the hood/grill to finish body work wise. I can NOT get her to charge. I got a reman. GM 1 wire from Autozone, and have already taken it back and via them, it "tested" fine. I have it wired, just as it says do via the diagram on this site..."other" than...could not find a stand-a-lone, "old school" idiot light(everything LED now)...so had a 11 ohm, 3-5 watt resistor around, so added that into the circuit going back from F1 at the alternator, back to the open side of the switch. F2, goes to the hot pin, on back of the alternator, which feeds back to the + side of the 60 amp new meter I installed. I have some 10 ohm, 2 watts on the way, to see if that is the issue. I changed the 2.5 inch alternator pulley, to a 2.3 inch alternator pulley. I even grounded the alternator housing, back to the alternator bracket, to see if that will help and make sure it's not a grounding issue, as I did repaint the tractor and a lot, was done "piecemeal". Have also put in a internal resisted coil...and electronic ignition..which, is the bomb, in my book...but..this charging issues is beating my brain!!! When I "first" put this new..aka "rebuilt" alternator on...on it's first crank..it went to charge for about 45 seconds...now...nothing. At full throttle, only getting some 12.7 volts, at the alternator, or battery. Alternator is spec'd for a 1970's model/ 6 cylinder GM, one wire. I understand the later(80's) 1 one wire alternators would excite on start up and at lower RPM. I have checked via screwdriver to the back of the alternator, it is magnetized. [/img]

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
