[Farmall] H Charging Problem

[Larry Holderman]

Greg:   The battery is not that old but I know that they could go bad.  I
had the battery out along with my Super H and charged both of them and they
seem to charge and hold a charge.  I have also put a load tester on them and
they both are fine.  I forgot on my first post to say that it is on a
generator and is 6 volt and not been changed over to alternator and 12 volt
like some guys like to do.  Also the wiring was replaced with new when I
restored it a few years ago.
