On my SC I now have new VR and amp guage installed but still shows discharge, makes no sense. I hook up amp guage, hook battery back up, tractor is not running, turn on lights and amp guage shows discharge of about 8 amps like it should so that is hooked up right. If I hook amp guage with wires the other way it shows charge when lights are on and tractor not running. I polarize the gen, start tractor amp guage shows discharge about 10 amps, turn on lights shows discharge of about 20 amps. I decided to disconnect the battery to see what happened. Know with a car if alternator is good car will keep running. Well tractor will keep running with battery disconnected, turn on lights and they come on, dim but will work on both high and low, high is brighter then low. Amp guage shows nothing, doesn't work with battery disconnected. Now how would the tractor keep running if it is discharging??? Doesn't the amp guage showing discharge with the tractor running mean its just running off the battery? This is making no sense to me, if tractor will keep running and lights work when battery is disconnected the generator must be working, has to be getting power to the coil from somewhere. Am I right thinking that way? Tractor now has new VR and amp guage, still doing samething as the old VR and amp guage did. Would the battery be a problem maybe?? I have had to charge it up before but figured that was from it not getting a charge. Think Battery is all I have left to put on new. Have spent almost $90.00 so far, wife is not too happy lol. Am I right that if tractor was really discharging tractor shouldn't run with battery disconnected? This problem has me stumped. Thanks for any help, starting to pull what hair I have left out lol.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
