It won't start because you have bad battery connections somewhere...[/quote:ac835a0df1]
My uncle was the manager for the location and I worked on him with it. I remember him asking if it is 6v or 12v system. Could have been misboxed or ???. Both VR and generator came from NAPA.
Didn't start bc the battery was dead. It was WAY below 12 volts on the DMM. Connections look decent with no noticable crud.
I checked the battery this morning (after being on charger) before starting and it was 12.75 volts. I then started the tractor and it was 12.03 volts. Probably dropped when cranking by .75 volts.
What is my next step?
Am I on to something with improper VR or Gen?
How do I check VR?
Will a bad VR still put out some volts and it just happens to be 6v capacity?
How do I check gen?
Should I redo the jumper wire thing? What two terminals?

Sorry, the 7 volts was on the battery before charging and after pull starting with 15 minute road trip at full throttle.
After charging 20 amps for 2.5 hours the battery voltage was 12.75 volts. After cranking with engine running it was 12.03 volts. I am not sure about a tractor, but my pickup puts out about 13.6-14 volts when running.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
