I have a 6-volt battery, the 3rd in 1-year. When the engine idle at low speed the amp meter is less than 30 amps (-05 to -20), but when I go full throtle it pegs out at -30 amps. As I stated earlier, I recently had a completly new wiring harness installed by a reputable mechanic and it worked fine for a while. One side note, last spring when I first started the tractor after winter, I sat down on the cushioned seat and felt several stinging pains on my fanny. I thought I had put the tractor in neutral but when I jumped off the tractor it took off. It headed from the terrace above our house, went between our power pole and support line, across the front yard and towards the pasture (brome grass about 2-feet tall) and heading towards my pond. Being the manly man I thought I was, I chase the tractor hoping to shut it down before it went into the pond. Well, I jumped, missed my target, and got run over by the right rear wheel and tumbled by the blade, which fortunately for me was in it's highest position. I was fortunate. It rolled me pretty good and I recall coming to a cross-legged sitting position. The bottom line is the tractor went into the pond. I've done a lot of work on it since, draining fluids, changing points, etc. But the generator issue is a mystery. I'm thinking of just buying a new generator. Run over and fortunate to be alive. the fortune comes from living in God's country. Life in the country. Thanks
