I checked it from Bat terminal to ground at max RPM...and best I could get was little over 12 volts, and that's with the smaller overdrive pulley. Removal of the + post, shuts the tractor off...which I know
you are not supposed to do..but..figured what the heck. I ordered a new 3 wire alternator this morning, from Carquest...for a 76/6 cylinder Chevy truck....before going to work. I know the owner really well.
Now that Carquest and Advance have merged...he was worried that they would make him change his Tier suppliers for things like starters, alternators, etc--but so far, they haven't pushed the issue. He said if
they did that...he was going to change over and go NAPA. He, is the only parts store, in our small little town. Have a bud who loves building old Camaros...has both a 67 as well as a 69, which both are sweet
looking cars. He kept having issues with the old style OEM alternators and voltage regulators that are supplied now, my guess...via China.. mainly overcharge issues..and boiling the battery over to the point
it would swell the battery on one of them. He would manually set them to charge at 13.5 to 14 volts...and their setting would change, over time. He just finally threw in the towel..and purchased true 1 wire
for both from NAPA...and never looked back and his issues were over. He doesn't do a lot of night driving however, but the 1 wire still puts 14 volts at the battery, if he blips the throttle at startup.

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
