voltage is not as much concern as amps ive had problems with my Farmall H witch is the same as a W4 tractor if you have a high/low charge control the amp meter should show around 2 amps on low and 12 amps on high to adjust speed at which gen. kicks on you make the point gap in the voltage reg. closer it will take some engine speed to excite the gen. mine you need 1/2 or so engine speed to kick on but then you can go almost to idle and gen. will stay on there is also a resister wire in voltage reg. (if origanal) that wil regulate rate of charging if you replaced the reg. with a newer type that can cause problems because the origanal system is a single wire type and the new style reg. has an excite wire witch i could never get to work properly and ended up having the shop fix my old reg. and now it works fine. if your gen. is putting out a cherge its good and just need to find out why your not get voltage and/or amperage to battery also the high/low switch could be bad or rusted inside and that will cause bad contact.just remember amps are more important then voltage they are slow charging systems 7.5 volts is more then good 6.5 is still exceptable and that would be wide open readings.with amps wide open would be 2 on low 12 on high please. let me know how youu make out or if you need more help i know what its like i pulled my hair out for over a year to get mine fixed right and leared alot along the way.
