Thanks for all of the good advice. I checked battery with key switch off - 12.6 V. With tractor running seemed to be checking around 14V going between post on alt and ground on battery - readings were all over the place with digital VOM. All of the wiring checked OK and correct as Dell inidcated -this harness and alt were good before rebuild. I decided to run it for a while as I haven't run him much (5-10 minutes max)since initial cranking from complete rebuild. After running for a few minutes I noticed amp meter reading dropping and after about 15 minutes was down to 16 amps at idle. Should I carry on and see what happens or is the battery still charging? I did not check alt case to ground yet and it is a fresh paint job. Two things I should note - I did drain the battery pretty well (but not completely) trying to start engine (another story about dist weights)and did charge it on a slow 2/6 amp charger overnight about a week ago - battery seems to start engine well -couple of turns and we're running. Any further advice or comments appreciated.
