Farmall Generator

I there the battery in my A want to hold A charge. I added water (it was half full from the store) and I was getting 5.5-6 volts at the battery. From the generator I was getting around 4 at half throttle and 5 open. do I need to buy a voltage regulator??

Another thing what is the going rate for a 1945 Farmall A with no attachments included in good running condition OK tires.

How much more would it be worth with new tires and new paint?? would it be worth speding 500 on tires and another couple hundred and many hours on paint/prep.
 
First, use a jumper wire to connect the "F" terminal of the generarot to the generator case. Does the voltage of the system come up to something above 6.3 volts? If so , yos you need a new VR. If not the generator is bad.

Take a piece of wire. A test wire with clips on it is handy but not necessary, as long as yu have metal on each end.

With the battery connected, hold one end of the wire to the "B"attery terminal on your regulator, and just briefly touch the other end to the "G"enerator terminal. If it's easier (given where things are placed, to hold the wire to the G teminal and touch it to the B, that's fine too, as long as you simply make that connection for a moment. Simple as that. You should see a small spark when you touch the second end.

Try that and troubleshoot from there if it's still necessary.

This needs to be done any time the generator, the regulator/cutout, or the battery has been disconnected.
