gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,006 #2 Posted March 1, 2023 Do you have belt driven starter/generator or the Bendix starter with flywheel charging stator? Model and serial of the tractor may help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,580 #3 Posted March 1, 2023 Going to assume Bendix as that is what most Chargers had. Have you load tested the battery how old is it. So many electric problems here trace back to a bad battery. Before you throw parts at it some testing may help. Run a temp ground wire from the regulator body (fins) to the battery neg. then run it. Does battery voltage come up? if so Bad ground for the regulator. No go?? Disconnect 3 wire lug from the regulator Two wires will be white. Start the engine run it a at least 3000 rpm. Check for AC voltage between the two wires. Should be 30 volts AC or more. If so and all your connections and grounds are good then probably time for a new regulator 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 54,842 #4 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Also the third terminal on the regulator needs to have battery voltage when the Key is on. Edited March 1, 2023 by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
