I've noticed the ammeter doing funny things the past few days. At 3/4 to high idle, shows 0 to 1 or 2 amps charge. Below about 1/2 speed, shows 4-5A discharge. if i ground the F terminal, it charges like crazy- 10A at low idle, buries the needle at 1/2 or a little higher. so i think that means the gen is good. almost seems like the VR is set for too low a voltage setting. i've had the tractor for about 10 years and replaced the VR 2 or 3 times already. the tractor has never been one to charge at high rate, even with discharged battery- 4-5 would be the most. with lights on high it will show a discharge at low rpm, up to +1 or so at fast speed. so i'm thinking maybe the VR has never been quite right?
