I have a 1953 H Model with a 6 volt system, magneto, 6 volt generator and 6 volt regulator (L/B/F) that I recently restored. When I run the tractor the ammeter shows no charging or possibly a very small charge. I've used the trouble shooting guide I found on line but can't seem to determine the problem. When the engine is off and lights are turned on the ammeter shows a discharge. When I start the engine and run at ½ speed or better, and place a voltmeter on the regulator F terminal I get 6.24 volts and the battery shows 6.1 volts. The ammeter shows no charge or perhaps just a little. If I turn the lights on, the ammeter shows significant discharge reading. Is it possible the generator / regulator is not putting out enough current to override the battery voltage?
I reversed the wires on the ammeter and confirmed the needle will swing to both sides of the "0". I pretty sure I've got everything wired right. I'm stumped.

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