: : My neighbor is having problems with his tractor. It is a '50 McCormick Farmall Cub, 6 volt
: : system. The problem started as the battery wouldn't charge. He isn't sure how to connect the
: : battery, positive cable to negative battery, or positive to positive, and has switched back and
: : forth a few times. Someone told him neg to pos on old 6 volt (positive earth). I really don't
: : know. Also, battery only shows 4.5 volts with the tractor off. The battery charger leads get
: : hot and only get the voltage to 4.85 volts. Is it possible the generator was damaged? : : Can you help? : : Thanks in advance, : : Eric Weber
: Put a 12 v battery on it with a 12v coil with built
: in resistor and forget about the charging system. It
: will crank good for weeks before you have to charge it. The cub has a positive ground. The positive post on the battery connects to the positive ground cable (positive to positive). Hooking it up backwards may have damaged the voltage regulator. If it is working properly, the generator will give increased output by turning the light switch to the first notch (counterclockwise). I have a cub and a Super C, they are both still 6V. and start fine. I prefer to keep them as orginal as possible.
