Hey folks,
I have a Shibaura SD2243D that wouldn't start this morning. It sounded like the battery was very weak. I was able to jump start it with a battery block, but even with the tractor running, I see only 12 volts at the battery. I'm thinking my alternator may be shot.
My plan is to trickle charge and then load test the battery, and make sure I've got good connections at the alternator. Any other thoughts on this? Does anyone know if this alternator was used on Ford or New Holland products?
Thanks Much -
