I have a D-17 12 volt system with a 10SI alternator on it. If I leave the battery hooked up it drains the battery over night. I think I found the problem but want to be sure. Ya I could go out and use one of my other tractor to check but this is easier LOL. If I put a meter between the battery and the + cable I read 12 volts give or take a few, ignition off or on. If I unhook the big post wire on the alternator I read zero volts. Is my thinking correct that I have a problem with the alternator or do I still need to look more as to why the battery goes dead. Thats the only wire I find that draws current at all times so thats why I think I need a new alternator. Thanks
