Went out to check on my cousin's WD-45 I got running a few weeks ago, and it wouldn't start as the 6V battery was now too weak. Put it on the charger and got it back up to snuff. It spun over really good once fully charged, and I had to choke it a bit more than usual, but it fired right up, with the usual flutters and pops that tractor does.
However, I noticed the ammeter was not showing a charge. I played with the switch position, but never got the needle to move at all while playing with it. I don't have a 6V on my tractors, I have an 8V battery w/ generator or a 12V battery w/ alternator setup, so I am used to how those show charging.
So I'm not really sure what I should be seeing, or if I needed to rev the tractor up more, or if there's something else I should be looking for to see if the generator even works? I did put a few drops of oil in the front spring loaded flip up on the generator while I was out there.
