I am in the process of fixing up a 1971 Ford 3000 Gas tractor.
The previous owner had replaced the generator w/ an alternator, that appeared to be overcharging the battery.
I purchased a new generator and installed it, but I don't think it is working.
Engine off battery voltage 12.9 volts.
Engine running 1500 rpms 12.3 volts. ???
Engine running no wires connected to generator - generator voltage 2.9 volts.
Any specific steps to check things out? I have also replaced the voltage regulator..
Thanks,
JS
