farmall H charging problem

SLH · Jun 28, 2012

My farmall H does not charge I have done all of the checks as far as grounds and jumping ground to the field no charge when I jump from the battery terminal on the regulator to the generator terminal on the regulator I get a discharge on the amp meter I'm sure everything is grounded. also I did polerize the generator .THANKS for any help.

If it fails to charge with the gennys FLD post dead grounded (if allllll else is okay and wired correct??) the genny is probably bad which may be bad brushes or an open field or a bad armature etc etc.....

To further confurm the genny is bad (which it sounds like) run the Motor test in my Troubleshooting Procedure. (See URL linl below)

In addition to what you already did, my proceudre talks more about how to tell if non charging is the fault of the genny or VR, althougg it sounds like from what you did (if all else is correct and working) the genny is the culprit....

If all else is wired right and BOTH the genny and VR have good grounds (see my procedure) but she dont charge when you dead ground the gennys FLD post its time to repair or replace the genny

Have you pulled the commutator end plate off? Check for a broken or open wire.
