1952 cub tractor lights

Anonymous-0 · Mar 20, 2014

I had generator rebuilt, replaced Voltage regulator and rewired lights. When I crank the tractor is shows fully charging, but when I turn lights on it goes to full discharge with motor running. What could be the problem making it discharge.

Switch the wires on the back of the amp gauge.

You need the system hooked positive ground. Did you get the correct reg for the CUB gen then polarize the gen.

Wait a minute.

Before you start switching wires make sure it's actually charging. Measure the voltage on the battery with the engine running and the lights OFF. With the meter showing full charge it should read 7.0-7.5 Volts.

It is possible you have the lights wired up wrong, creating a SHORT CIRCUIT. That would cause the needle to swing to full discharge. Also your wires will get hot very quickly.
