our Ford 1710 wouldn't start the other day. jumped it and it ran fine. next day dead again. replaced the fan belt because it was loose and had needed to be tightened before with this problem. Still tractor won't start. volt meter on the battery says 11.93 volts jump the tractor on and the batery still reads a steady 11.93 volts even when reved to 2000rpms.
does this mean i have a bad alternator? is there a test i can do which will tell me if the alternator is bad for sure? could it be a bad battery? is there a way to tell a bad battery vs bad alernator?
