    Generator question (3 brush, type A circuit, 12v, neg. gr.)

    That is the TRUTH!!! I've had two new voltage regulators in the past 12 years, the first was around $35, the one I have on there now, was not grounding the field coil. New aftermarket, $164... (So, I cleaned the points!!! :) ) What I'm really worried about, and you mentioned this, is the...

    Generator question (3 brush, type A circuit, 12v, neg. gr.)

    Sorry, I didn't catch that typo, I meant (181)-674M91, I was in a rush and tried to drop the 181.... Sorry. The only thing that worries me is at low rpm, the charging relay in the voltage regulator will not close. At medium rpm's the generator will put out 14.0 volts, but at full throttle it...

    Generator question (3 brush, type A circuit, 12v, neg. gr.)

    Thanks for the help, but I'm a little confused. Isn't the 674M61 a 6 volt generator? Back somewhere, the original was replaced and switched to a 12 volt system. I was thinking this is from a TO-35, but that is just a guess. However, the generator is a 12 volt output gen. (I have...

    Generator question (3 brush, type A circuit, 12v, neg. gr.)

    Hello all, I have what I believe to be a Delco-Remy generator on my TO-20. The thing wasn't charging, turned out to be the voltage regulator field points were not grounding the field coils. But, while I was at it, I got into the generator, which is a three brush generator, circuit A type. I...

    Generator Confusion

    John T, you seem to have a lot of experience with generators. I've posted a question in tractor talk with a pic. Would you take a look and tell me what make you think make (i.e. delco-remy, etc.) this gen. is? Thanks for your time...

    Need Help w/ 3 brush generator

    Thanks Jim! I forgot all about the digital meters and their limitations. But this is a great suggestion! I'll try it! And, I think you are on to something with the copper dust. (or something that is providing a path for some kind of connection between the field coil and the armature) Pete 23...

    Need Help w/ 3 brush generator

    Thanks for the pdf! I should have mentioned, this generator is not the original for a TO-20, I am pretty sure someone back there, put a generator from a TO-35 which is a 12 volt, negative ground system. (and uses a 12 volt neg. gr. regulator) All the literature I've read says the third...

    TO 30 No Power

    Will, I have to agree, the No Power leaves the door open for a lot of things. How does the thing run without an attachment? What is the attachment? I just had the same problem with my TO 20, it was a problem with the carb. The thing was running very well, then wham, no power. If you are...

    Re: FOR semlin.....and Jerry/MT

    Oh I listened, took apart, bent float to adjust the bowl level, wired out and blew out all jets and orifices, scratched my head and held my tongue ever imaginable way when doing so. The thing still would not develop full power. After our over the phone re-check, I mowed 5 acres at half...

    Re: FOR semlin.....and Jerry/MT

    Thanks gents for all the suggestions, however as I said in the original post, had good fuel flow to the carb. (i.e. a steady stream per the manual) and also as I said I replaced the points plugs and condenser, so yes it had fire all the way to the plugs. (dwell is 22 degrees for a TO 20) Finally...

    FOR semlin.....and Jerry/MT

    Hello, I'm having the exact same problem with a TO 20 with a TSX 458. I rebuilt the tractor about 4 years ago, including the Carb. the thing has been running fine until a couple of weeks ago. While mowing, it quit, no gas, so I replaced the inline filter, cleared the gas line and have a...
