Hi all,
'Tis the maintenance season. I have a Super A that appears to have an original generator. The tractor starts fine (other than on the coldest of days) I'm not entirely certain I'm getting a great deal of juice back off the generator though. It seems that I replace, or have to pull off and charge my battery almost yearly. The amp meter seems operable as it moves a bit when I pull the starter switch. It barely indicates any juice when running.
I've read a bit about refurbishing the generator heads but figured I'd ask for any ones experiences in doing this.
Alternatively if it seems time for a replacement do folks have opinions regarding installing a new generator or switching to an alternator. I'd assumed switching made sense but have heard from folks that found their tractors didn't start well with the alternator.
