    Jump starting tractors

    As I said in my original post, having a jumper vehicle running while boosting dead battery, will most times, cause no problems. Alternator charging voltage, but not amperage, is controlled by a zenner diode (voltage relief valve) in the voltage regulator. There is no current limiter as in the...

    1987 MF 375 not charging batteries

    Hi, the wire (green) seems to be your exciter wire to get your field coil (rotor) magnetized to get the charging started. This wire is in series with the charge light on the dash. On some applications, there will also be a resistor in parallel with the bulb in case the bulb burns so that you...

    Water Temp Gauge not working anymore!

    Hi, a simple check is to ground wire at the sensor. The gauge will want to go to full tilt. If it does that turn key off quickly after seeing the rise if you want to see the pointer again. If gauge responds as mentioned above then gauge and wiring are ok but the sensor is not modulating to...

    Kubota B2910 Not Starting with Ignition Key

    Hi, since the fuel and temp gauge don’t work as well I would look for B+ going to or from ign switch. Look at fuse marked gauges or instruments. Safety switches are usually wired in series between start relay/solenoid and ignition sw. An open in this safety circuit should not effect gas and...

    JD2210 hard turnover & won't start

    Hi Guys, One coolest all in one gnd cable setups was on older Toyota Tacoma trks. The neg cable would have a gnd lug first soldered on and bolted to the body then second lug bolted to the frame with final lug terminating at the engine block. So you ended up with just one gnd cable connecting...

    JD2210 hard turnover & won't start

    Hi JD22, Sorry but did not read your last post well before replying. But if you got the engine running then obviously it is ok. On the starter circuit. If the pos cable got hotter than normal hi amps) then both the ground and hot side of the circuit are ok. Same current values flow through pos...

    JD2210 hard turnover & won't start

    Hi jd22, The fact that the positive bat got real hot (hi current) means that all circuitry to and from the starter is good since you are flowing way more amperage than normal. The most likely cause of excessive internal heavy starter amp draw is worn armature bushings. This causes the...

    Alternator

    Hi Sd, You make a very good point about the fuse box buss bar as being a good spot for VR #2 sensor wire. This spot along with bat cable stud at starter solenoid was used on older GM vehicles. Please give the following thought. With vehicles running there are only two sources of circuit...

    Alternator

    Hi Zac, assuming the alternator has no internal defects the running hot problem can be caused by the following. 1. Normal voltage at the output terminal should be around 13.8 to 14.6 if all is normal. If yours is higher, a good chance if your running hot, then the first move is to be sure the...

    Jump starting tractors

    Hi, When jumping from the vehicle with a good battery make sure to keep the ENGINE OFF. Because, when you hit the starter on the dead battery unit the booster battery will drop down to about 9.5 to 10.5 volts depending on it's starter draw. This will force the regulator on the booster unit to...

    Alternator

    Number 1 terminal is from the ignition sw to the chg indicator bulb in series and then on to the alternator fld coil. This is to excite the alt fld to start charging. After starting #1 terminal will go pos from the internal diode trio and this will put out chg light which is now pos on both...
