2305 not charging

[Rl69]

I only have two wires coming from the altenator ( stator?) going into the rectifier.

It's puting out 30 amps all the way into the rectifier. The two wires I assume are hot and natural going in the rectifier have continuity in the rectifier.

When the tractor is running, what are you getting for voltage at the battery? If you get 9-10 volts There is safety relay and a diode that are a common problem that cause a no charge with the 2305..

I'm not geting any thing to the battery power flow stops at the rectifier and I'm sure that's the problem I was wanting to know how to test it. Are if there might be another reason for power to stop

If you jump the tractor and it’s running have you put a meter across the battery?

Yes it reads the same as when it wasent runing

I rearly jump the tractor I charge the battery With a charger I try to keep the battery charger up

Your rectifier is bad or its connections are corroded (most probable).

Could be but I would also check the diode and safety relay behind the dash, a lot of people had trouble with the connections and replaced the rectifier to find there was something wrong with the diode or relay.. Corroded terminals could be the problem as well at any of the above..

I have had a similar issue with when I had a 2305. If the engine got too hot, the rectifier would blow. I could smell that the rectifier was burnt. I had to replace a diode and rectifier. I purchased a cheap rectifier off of Amazon. It worked. I sold the tractor last yr. Good luck.

Three other threads are showing in the "Similar Threads" at the bottom of this page.. all appear to be about the 2305 charging issues. Did not open any of them, but might be worthy of a look. Last replies were in years 2012, 2016, and 2018

I have always had a proublem with this tractor overheating. The rectifier dosent smell burnt to me but

Well that was it I put the new rectifier on 14.62 volts. Thanks for y'all's help
