- 1967 Ford 5000 w/FEL(sold), 1950 Farmall Super A for the wife to drive around (needs fixed) 2024 Kubota B6201 FEL & BH
1950 Farmall Super A, it has an 8v battery and across posts at high idle 7.3v or so
This is after some time on a 6v battery charger so obviously it is not charging, searching the web I found many diagrams showing a 3 wire regulator and the body being grounded(corrosion seems to be a big issue between block and housing)
I have not pulled it off and just yanked the cover for a picture, any troubleshooting for these 4 wire ones?
I have not traced wires yet, I have 1/2 of day tomorrow off and will look at her between projects trying to reference 3 wire diagrams and also using a meter to see if 4th wire is a redundant ground
I have not "energized" the field yet or checked contacts , I will try tomorrow
Thanks
