    Farmall M ammeter randomly spiking

    I do still have the points in there. And was using a multimeter from my father in law who is an electrician. Had it set on 12v. I used the tractor today for a half hour doing some chores and all seemed fine. I will get the alt tested.

    Farmall M ammeter randomly spiking

    The belt seems pretty tight. Every time the hood is off I try to tighten it. Right now, using drawing 5 that was posted here today, the system seems to be working. Other than the original problem of the ammeter pegging at 30. With the tractor off the battery is 13.7 volts and with it running is...

    Farmall M ammeter randomly spiking

    Sorry guys. The picture of the wiring layout I made was how Dan and Rachel Gingell wired their H in a video. But my alt has the white clip on the edge of alt with red and white wire. The red wire on the white clip ties to the main lug on the alt and the white wire on the alt clip ties to the...

    Farmall M ammeter randomly spiking

    I am revisiting this topic cuz I never finished the project. Here is a diagram of how I believe it should be wired. Either it's right or wrong. Hopefully I am told it's correct. Thanks for all your help. I am also eliminating the ballast resistor with this work.

    Farmall 706 gas ring gear

    Well................since August I drove it to my neighbor's. He's a diesel mechanic. But he also is a farmer so in August he was just about ready to get in the field. So he briefly looked into it before he got going. Then after harvest he has done a couple things to the starter. Tried different...

    Farmall 706 gas ring gear

    Still haven't got my starter issue resolved. If you have the time, check out my thread from a couple months back. Now we think it needs new ring gear. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/need-a-small-farmall-706-starter-explanation.1784109/

    Farmall 706 led headlight configuration

    I have one question after both your last comments. If you were both here wiring my lights together, who would be the first one to crack open a cold one?:D I am kinda bummed. Just took all the old lights off the tractor. All 7 still work. I better focus on how much safer and brighter the new 7...

    Farmall 706 led headlight configuration

    So just so I am understanding. Power would come off key switch, then an in-line fuse, THEN to relay and then to the rocker switch, out to lights? Only reason asking is I am kinda trial and error with tractor electrical. Everything is hooked up on my work bench with car battery, fuse box, relay...

    Farmall 706 led headlight configuration

    Total amp load between and 15 and 16. I will be using 14ga wire. Just undecided on light type and if I really want 7. If I buy 2 for front and 1 for back and they are really bright then might call it good.
