Re-wire the voltage regulator? Augh! Bet that's my problem. Where can I find a male plug to finish the job? I also have a bunch of loose wires, from lights (etc.) that are no longer attached and working, that I'm going to start snipping. My battery is not recharging at all and is a headache to maintain power. My alternator looks the same and I have had it bench tested. It passes with flying colors so again it must be in my worn out wiring. All of my connectors have been chewed on by mice and here again I need to replace them all. Thanks for the tip.
A lesson hard learned. I've been fiddling with my tractor for weeks with a no start slow drag from the starter. Paid for a service call and in time finally came to the conclusion that I was simply low on oil. I had bought the oil and filter and was waiting to warm the engine before I changed it. I guess it's a safety feature I wasn't aware of. Also learned how to preheated my glow plugs. I had always turned my ignition key to the right and waited, thinking that my glow coil was simply in-operative. What a difference on a once hard to start tractor. Wisdom comes with age - I've just always been a slow starter.
