Greetings to the board!1948 8N138753 Firstly, I had a charging problem; it didn't charge... jumped the ARM and BAT terminals, no joy... grounded the FLD terminal, charged like crazy... replaced the VR, and followed the procedures provided in the box verbatim.. seemed to resolve the problem... Today, after working the tractor for an hour or so, it began to act like it did when it wasn't charging; starts missing badly under load... I checked the ammeter, and it looked like it wasn't showing any charge (it had been showing about 5 amps when I first started it)... I turned on the lights, and the ammeter showed a discharge... after shutting it down and allowing it to cool off, I restarted it (fired right up, no jump or anything) and it again showed about a 5 amp charge... eventually it showed barely above zero.. I turned on the lights, and at idle it showed a discharge, but at running RPM it showed just above zero... while I was trouble shooting the original problem, I ran the tractor for over an hour or so with the generator FLD terminal grounded, but kept the revs down to keep the charging rate below 15 amps... and it ran like a champ... could the missing when hot be something else? tight valve? (hope not)... Question two... on the carb... is the big screw the idle mixture and the little screw the run mixture? What is the ball-park adjustment? 1 - 1.5 turns out from bottom? Lastly, where can I get a right side "drag link" (the simple steel bar that reinforces the lower mount points) for the 3-point? Got one on the left side, but not the right... Thanks, folks... really appreciate the advice! Regards;
