[AT] Ferguson TO-20 Charging Problems

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Steve,
Start by checking the wear on the brushes. This is the most likely problem 
area. If the brushes are ok, move on to the regulator.
Another possibility is the wiring, check carefully at the connections. Had 
one on a pickup once that the light would come on when turning left. Found a 
loose wire that would pull away from the contact during a left turn.

Good luck,
Phil

>My 1951 TO-20 Ferguson still starts and runs OK, but the generator light 
remains on.  It used to go off, except at low idle. I'm assuming I have a 
regulator or generator problem. Can someone steer me as to how to proceed, or 
where to look? (It's still six volt, POS ground.)
Thanks
