: : : I bought an Allis Chalmers wide front. One thing that it has : : is when I start it up (cold). I may have to give it a half : : hand crank and then, the starter will get it going. Could : : it be out of timing? Or, I need to move the tractor a little : : while on gear to loosen up in order to give a half hand crank? : : Can any of this be fixed? : : Also, the electrical goes from the battery terminal : : to the starter and to the volt ammeter. At the ammeter : : the other terminal goes to the alternator. However, the : : alternators terminal 1 and 2 are not connected. I was looking : : at an automotive repair manual and it shows that terminal : : 2 goes to a regulator. Does the tractor have a regulator? : : I have not really look for it. : : Any assistance in this matter is appreciated. : I can't imagine it not having a regulator to control direction and amount of charging current. I would expect someone has rigged your tractor otherwise. See if you can get a shop manual and check it out. You could blow up a battery and could also burn up your electrical system.
