[AT] 630 handclutch and charging problem

[Dean VP]

Ricky:

If it is positive ground and when the tractor is running at high rpms and
shows a +10 amp charge, probably nothing needs to be done. How long did you
run the tractor at high rpms vs putting the charger on the battery for an
hour. How many amps was the charger putting out? I would suspect the battery
is low after having been setting around. Will take a few hours of tractor
running time to get it to be fully charged up. You may not have a problem at
all other than giving the tractor some running hours to perform its task.
Patience may be a virtue here.

It is setup positive ground.  Do I need to repolarize my generator?  Ricky
