The reg was new last year and I never wired it up any other way, than the way is was originally when I started this post.
I have flashed the genny, no difference
The relays in the reg function properly when the tractor is running.
If night cultivating at 1/3 throttle will kill a battery, I would say there is nothing wrong with the genny output, I have seen it go to 7 vdc so far.
We have good connections and good wireing to all contact surfaces and the VR is grounded.
There is one thing that bothers me. When I was doing continuity tests on the VR, on the bench, the F terminal that feeds the smaller relay (the one that has the field resistor on it, in parallel, when closed reads 17 ohms and when open reads 22 ohms to the case ground. This does not seem right to me.
When I look at the rivited plate that supposedly insulates this F terminal connection on its way through the base plate, it is very crooked compared to all the others, perhaps one of the through rivits is touching the base plate.
The question here is; with the VR off of the machine and with the relay thats connected to the F term on the VR open (no contacts touching) should there be any reading to ground on the F term of the vr?
Jim, I didnt do anything to toast the vr, and Scotty, everything has shiney metal to metal contact.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
