    Amp meter

    Many thanks for replying. I mowed yesterday ~10 acres in which tractor ran for six hours. No problem with charge and battery. I did forget yesterday to mention that I replaced the battery. So being fresh it probably did not require a lot of charge. Thanks again. I really appreciate all the...

    Amp meter

    I have a Ferguson T0 30 with a positive ground converted system. I replaced the old generator with a new one and when I start the tractor the amp meter moves to the right briefly and then stays just right of center showing perhaps one amp charging. The old wires leading from the generator...

    Alternator pulley key

    My alternator (tractor is 12 volt converted system) has quit working and I was able to remove the alternator from its support brace. I sprayed the nut/washer on the shaft with a 'break free' product for three days and was able to remove the nut and washer. I was removing the pulley by...

    Do you have a test light or volt meter? Yes I do have a volt meter. Will start trying to run down where there is no voltage. A couple of months ago I had a similar problem in that the tractor would not crank and I removed the post nut under the tractor and cleaned the terminal. That...

    The system is indeed a 12 volt conversion. And it is a positive ground. There is not a foot starter switch. There is a toggle switch for 'on' and 'off' when 'on' the circuit is complete and when you engage the starter from the gearshift it cranks and ignition. Turn toggle to 'off' and the...

    Hi Was replacing battery terminals on my T030 and accidentally touched the negative terminal to the frame with my box end wrench. Obviously sparks flew. Tractor will not crank. Battery is fully charged. Is there a fuse somewhere that may have blown or perhaps the on/off switch got fried...

    Initial Carb Settings

    Based on my previous post after performing tests recommended it appears I had a clogged jet. Took carburetor off and cleaned it and ordered rebuild kit (comprehensive). Finished with that. What are the initial setting. Looks to be two adjustment screws. Thanks Robert

    carburetion

    Ok, I did find a strong vacuum when placing my hand over the inlet from the breather. There was gas on the spark plug. Looks like a clogged jet. How do you remove the carburetor? Probably will try a rebuilt kit. Tnanks Robert

    carburetion

    Removed the nut underneath the carburetorand gas flowed out freely with no stoppage. I also checked the gas line filter (screen) and it is not clogged. Took the bottom bowl from the air filter out and oil looked ok and t did not look full of 'gunk'. I had cleaned the whole unit last year...
