Battery issues

[careyo63]

I have both Reg. Old style and New and get the same reading. 14.25 @2000rpm's............

thanks, If you wouldn't mind, pm me the changing over /wiring details ?
Would be great to have if I decide to change to an alternator system.

I just replaced the battery and checked the readings . Got out put of 16.50 volts output @2500 rpm's
I'll have to check my manual after while to see if that is within range, or if the output is too high

Just my shade tree mind here and what I know about batteries, that's too high!! You don't want to take a 12v to 15v really that's where you want to finish up on a charge, not above it potentially for hours!!

I agree

I'm trapped inside and 'cabin happy' due to cold rain falling .... so made a post with the details, please see Internal Regulated Alternator Conversion

At 16.5v your boiling that battery pretty good. I DO KNOW that!!

Thanks ! I'm gonna order that alternator. When it gets here ,I'm gonna try to wire it up using these diagrams.
I'm not at my tractor. I assume this T connector on the back of the new alt. is already being used on the OEM unit, so I won't have to come up with this connector. Is this correct ?

They sell connectors like that. I believe I saw them at rock auto once in the general parts category under generic parts and serving conectors. I was looking for something else and saw them. But it could of been a different site?

Replied in the other thread, yes your OEM harness already has the "T" connector, but FYI for folks needing to replace the "T" connector on their harness at their alternator, this Female 2-terminal connector available from Hoye will fit and do the trick (Hoye PN HWE-2-F).

OR, look for a correct connector with pigtail at many auto-parts stores.

OR, you can just use standard 1/4" female spade crimp connectors individually on each wire with appropriate shrink-insulation to prevent shorting to the alternator case.

Removed the VR today and found what appears to be a small resistor ? broken /burn off.

I called Alan (TX mower )and we discussed the wiring diagrams he posted. A BIG THANK YOU to Alan for the help !!:thumbsup:
Great talking with you today.

My new alternator should be here Friday. I'll post back as to how it works out

Good to hear others helping others. I am not sure what I will do if when one of mine go out....I probably will go back like it is? But if/when that happens I'll decide.
