I have been having a problem with my 1950 Cub killing the battery. The Cub has a 6v positive ground system.It was suggested that I use a voltmeter to better pinpoint the problem. Here are the results;
The volt meter read 6 without the battery connected (just charged it) starts right up. With the throttle at up about half the amperes Gauge (on the cub) registers about 6 amp on the Positive side (right of center). This is with the switch on "L". When I put the voltmeter on the battery there is a negative reading of -.24 when I switch to "H" "D" or "B" voltmeter reads 0.00 and there is a noticable change in the idle (less strain). The Gauge(on the cub) reads zero or even a slight discharge.
I pulled the cable off the battery and the tractor ran fine (it has a magneto). Checked the battery with the voltmeter, dead 0.00 reading. The positive lead from the battery is grounded directly to the side of the battery box (I didn't put the top on but that wouldn't make any difference would it?). The negative lead goes directly to the cranking motor.
What do you think my next steps should be? new voltage regulator? Generator? or a freakin' hand crank? Thanks ahead of time for your help...

If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
