John,
Another question......got the 140 troubleshooted and found a bad regulator. Thank you for the guidance.
I've got an IH 424 Deisel tractor with the same charging system (12 volt generator with regulator), BUT it does not have an ammeter. It only has a "dummy light". I noticed that the light remains on after cranking the tractor and stays on until you rev the engine and let the tractor run for a little while (about 2 minutes at half throttle). Once you let the engine back at idle, the light comes back on. I have reason to believe that the charging system is faulty somewhere. All of the wiring is original, untampered, and looks really good. I don't believe that is the issue. So tell me.....how in the world would I troubleshoot this charging system since it does not have an ammeter to let me know if it is charging??? Looking at the light is like a baby crying.....it can't tell you what's going on. Am I going to have to get out a multimeter, or is there another way to troubleshoot?? IF I have to use the multimeter, please instruct on where and what settings to use.
