A friend of mine went from a 6 volt battery to an 8 volt battery on his "H" and now can't get it to charge. We put a metter on the battery, with out the tractor running and it showed +8 volts and with the tractor running (full throttle)was about the same at +8 volts. The amp metter on the tractor goes from discharge (low idle) to about the center of the gage between charge and discharge at full throttle. Is there anything that can be done to get more volts out of the generator or do we need to adjust the regulator some how? I also checked out our "M" which has an 8 volt battery in it and it shows +9 volts with tractor running. We installed the 8 volt battery several years ago and had no trouble when we switched from a 6 to and 8 volt battery. Thanks for your help in advance.

I have used 8 volt batteries in some other red tractors with no problems. The 6 volt regulator needs to be ajusted to put out a little more juice.

Good News. You can adjust your generator to put out more voltage. However my usual way of fixing a tractor is to tuck a 12 volt generator up under the hood so althoguh I can adjust them I cannot give a detailed enough description to help you out. But I am sure someone will help you.

I'd just put in a 12V and charge it up a couple of time a year. 12V really makes the tractor start fast so the battery will last a long time between charges. A lot of people use marine batteries for this.
