My dynamo wasn't charging my battery. The dynamo tested out okay. It was producing 16.8 volts AC at around 1000rpm. I tested the regulator and it tested bad. I replaced the regulator and still the system isn't charging. I started the tractor, removed the positive lead from the battery and checked the voltage (wont do this again). I got no reading. I noticed that the two wires coming from the dynamo were getting warm/hot. Do I have a short somewhere.
Any ideas where to start? I removed the wire wrap from the wiring harness in the engine compartment which was pretty easy to do because it was very brittle. The wiring looks fine. I removed the dash and started inspecting the wiring there but ran out of daylight.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
