    F4 magneto capacitor

    1965 Ford 2000 3cyl gas

    Battery not being charged. The field wire to generator reads 2.5v but only getting about 1v out of generator. Does this indicate a generator or regulator issue?

    Ford 2000 PTO issue

    Amazingly, I viewed the clutch connection through the pto shaft hole and it appeared to be still intact. I inserted the pto shaft and it readily made connection. So it appears I was very lucky here.
