There are only two possible reasons for excessive voltage. One , easiest to check and repair is the sense lead that goes to number two termial. If that connection is not good , meaning making a tight clean connection to the spade on the regulator, your voltage can be all over the place. I used to play with those connectors while running alternators on the test stand. I found that if I inserted a variable resistor (pot) in line from battery to number two I could get readings way up to 20 volts. Seems backwards as one would think a poor connection would lead to lower voltage but IH had sent out a bulletin warning of these conditions. Therefore, if that wire and connector are good, check the main wire all the way to battery. Other problem would be alternator itself. Some times the current draw through the field (rotor) seems to destroy a regulator. I have had about three alternators that I replaced regulators, rotors, diode bridge, diode trio (everything but the stators) and they still over charged. Different alt and problem solved. Also, there has been a rash of poor quality regulators in the parts systems.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
