[Farmall] H Generator problems

[DBigdog]

You can check for generator output by measuring the voltage with the tractor 
running vs. not running.  If the generator is charging, you should read 
about 7.1 or 7.2 volts at fast idle.
    Did you re-polarize the generator after installation?  Momentary contact 
with a jumper wire from the Batt. terminal to the Gen terminal of the 
regulator should do the trick.  You will see a slight spark when you do 
this.

Subject: [Farmall] H Generator problems


I have an H with magneto ignition.I had the generator rebuilt and the shop 
said the voltage regulator checked ok. I cannot get the amp meter to 
register a charge in either the H or L position on the switch. When you turn 
on the lights it shows a discharge. The voltage at the battery terminals 
shows 6.3-6.4 volts. The old delco remy switch is not available. I ordered a 
new switch, but it works the lights only.All the wiring has been replaced 
and the connections checked and rechecked. Is there a way to check the 
generator output other than the amp meter? OR??????
Thanks
