Bill in IL said: (quoted from post at 12:21:59 08/01/08) My old M has me scratching my head. Tractor normally starts and runs good, generator charges marginal (think I need to tighten the belt) but it keeps the battery up. When I go to use the lights on high ampmeter shows discharge then eventually tractor dies just like it was shut off not immediatly but a minute or two later. Try to start it and it will crank but not fire. Let the tractor sit for half an hour and it will fire right up like nothing happened.
Bill - what about when you don't use the lights - does it run all day long? Hard to believe the lights would kill the battery in two minutes. Sounds more like a bad coil or condenser. When condensers go bad, they often go bad for good, whereas coils go bad intermittently, especially when they get hot. After they cool off, they often come back. mike
