Hi,
My D19 is not charging again. It stopped charging last spring. It stopped charging one day when I was blading snow. I shut if off and went inside and an hour later went out to finish the job. It wasn't charging when I started it back up, but 15 minutes later it was charging again. It seemed like it would only charge when it wanted to. Then a couple of weeks later, it stopped charging altogether. I went and bought a new voltage regulator and installed it. after polarizing it, I started up the tractor and it wouldn't charge. I took the (new) voltage regulator and the generator to John Deere and had it tested. They said the voltage regulater was bad. I got a new one and installed it. I polarized it and started it up. It was finally charging! I put it in the shed (this was last week.) Today, when I went to move bales, I got it out, and it was charging fine. I pulled up to the bales and glanced down and the ammeter and the darn thing showed a slight discharge. I then drove it over the the shop and on the way there, it started charging again. I tested the voltage at the battery with a multimeter and if I remember right the voltage was about 13v. I shut it off and turned it back on. It didn't charge after that. Running, the voltage at the batter is 11.9-12.04v . Voltage on the "A" terminal or Gen terminal on the voltage regulator said about .5 v. What is it supposed to be? Does that mean it is charging a little, tiny bit? Does the regulator need adjusting?
I know I polarized the regulator and generator when I installed them, and it was charging after that.
All the terminals have been clean and the connections are good. I'm out ideas. Does anyone else have any?
Thanks in advance.

Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
