Here goes,
I have an H that has been converted over to a 12v system. Last year I replaced the alternator and all the wiring which was all ratted up and put on some heavy duty battery cables. I also put in a new battery as well. I store my tractor over the winter so I added a trickle charger to maintain the battery. This winter I went to start it and it turned over really slow and them gained momentum and started. The battery seemed ok so I was leaning toward a tired starter. But last weekend I noticed the trickle charger would not kick off and was constantly drawing to charge. I popped the battery caps and noticed the positive side was low on water. I figured I had found the culprit and it wasn"t my starter. I filled and charged. Next day I just wanted to see if it would turn over stronger. With the spark off I hit the starter button and water from the positive side of the battery came squirting out as the tractor turned over but it was a stronger turn over by the starter. Popped the caps off the pos(+) side again and water was low. I figure the battery is being overcharged. How do you stop the alternator from overcharging the battery on a 12v conversion or is there something else wrong here? Thanks in advance
