    Ford 2000 charging issue

    Ok changed regulator out again and still no go. I just get about 1v out on field line to generator and nothing on the armature (should there be 12v there fed back from battery?). The regulator has 12v battery voltage and ground. Confused on what is going on.

    Ford 2000 charging issue

    Thanks for the info. I have a couple of generators and regulators collected now so will try those first. I like to keep old stuff as authentic as I can even though I must admit this tractor was definitely not built for serviceability.

    Ford 2000 charging issue

    Thanks for the feedback. I do still have the original but needs some cleanup and it has a rattle inside so have to crack it open. Think I will try to get one from Brillman also to try and get stable again.

    Ford 2000 charging issue

    Got a gas ford 2000 that the generator died on. I replaced the generator and all seemed well. A few days later it appeared the generator died again ( field voltage but no output). I replaced both the regulator and generator, all seemed well again. Now I see the generator light flickering on...

    Charging system issues

    Have a 65 Ford 2000 3 cyl gas tractor I replaced the generator on. Things worked fine, for a while. Then the charging system went out again. I measured about 1v on the field wire to the generator and assumed a regulator issue. Replaced regulator but still getting 1v on generator field and no...

    F12 magneto timing

    I usually have trouble finding the timing mark on the bell housing so I usually crank the engine to where the number one piston is at max position on the compression stroke. Then I set the magneto to that engine position. Is the timing mark usually appear at the max number one piston position?

    Farmall F4 magneto issue

    If I understand correctly, if you spin without the impulse you get a spark. Add the impulse, no spark. If this is true, it sounds like the magneto gear timing may be off. If you possibly took the rotor tower loose when removing the coil, a gear could have slipped a few teeth. Just check to...

    F4 magneto capacitor

    While installing wiring to magneto capacitor and tightening nut on capacitor, the center terminal of the capacitor started turning also. Is the capacitor no longer any good and internal ground connection broken?

    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.

    Ford 2000 panel fuse location

    Yes, the fuse was a miniature, but it was not blown. It appears a rat found the dash tasty and proceeded to remove wiring. Does anyone know where I can get the dash bayonet bulbs for the oil and gen lights. They were smashed. also looking for a replacement panel gasket with nuts embedded. thx
