WaaaaHooo!!!!! Thank you! Thank You! Figured would fire it up tonight and see if I got lucky. Remembered Cowman's post about grounding the field and WooHoo! it started charging. Kept charging when I took the wire away from the field post too. Charged at about 10 for a minute or so then went down gradually and stayed at about 1 1/2 to 2. I was thrilled, but thought would probably have to do the ground thing each time. Went in the house to celebrate with the wife and when I came back out and started her up again..... it did the same thing: without having to ground the field this time. I think it might be healed!
If someone will take pity on a simple old country guy and explain why it took off and started working when the field was grounded, I would be really greatful. Have to get the Case VAO charging too and would like to know what I did right and why it worked. Thanks to all again.
