Hey Guys,
I have a 42 Farmall H and over the past year or better I have been having alot of problems with the charging system. When I originally bought the tractor, I was told it was an 8 volt system. Even had an 8 volt battery in it. I decided to go with a 6 volt battery and had my genny rebuilt to 6 volt and put on a brand new 6 volt VR.
When the tractor is at 1/2-3/4 throttle my ammeter is reading between 10 and 20 on the charge side. Appears to be charging fine right??
I had the battery out for the winter and put it back in last week and gave it a good charge and the tractor fired while still on the charger. Let it run and again my ammeter was showing charge.
Now, when I shut down, I am having trouble restarting without the charger. I press the starter button and the motor wants to turn over about 1/4 turn each time the button is pressed. Sometimes it'll take off and fire up and other times I have to get the charger.
Is it possible that sinse this tractor was supposidly an 8 volt system that I have an 8 volt starter?
I notice that my starter button and wires get hot to the touch after cranking a while on those 1/4 turns. I plan on replacing them with 2 guage wire, (not sure if thats what they are now or not) and replacing the starter button. Any suggestions would be great!
