Went out today and couldnt get it to not charge, no matter where the light switch was and no matter how many times I throttled it down or shut it down. Then I started reading voltages again on the gen, volts fluctuated a little between 6.3 to 6.6 when the throttle was moved. No where near 7 plus or so like I expected. I am starting to think the gen is bad and the battery is draining down over the month or so that it doesnt run. Then when I get it running again and charging, volts in the system come back up and the cutout starts working properly again. The 3rd brush is up as high as it will go. I looked for voltage increase at the gen and at the batt and there just isn't enough coming from the gen to give a good charge, maybe enough to maintain it though after fiddling. The amp gauge still shows a ok rate of charge 2 to 3 amps. Looks like its time for a trip to the gen shop. Brushes are good and making contact. I read 7.5 volts when I checked it during restoration, something happened between then and now, who knows. Thanks for all the help John and all the rest.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
