    Cockshutt 40 generator

    OH OK I forgot about th3 brushes and didn't realize that would make a difference... maybe best if I leave well enough alone. If I take a brush out then I'd have some loose wires.

    Cockshutt 40 generator

    Mike I have a generator that came off a Minneapolis Moline M5.. It has a regulator mounted on top of the generator.. my generator on the Cockshutt has a cutout mounted on top..

    Cockshutt 40 generator

    Cockshutt 40 generator

    Mike the reason I asked it shows 10 on the amp meter so I unhooked the ground cable and the tractor quit.. So I'm thinking it's not charging.

    Cockshutt 40 generator
