    Another ammeter question

    Oliver 1655 diesel. 12 volt system in parallel two batteries. Have been monkeying with electrical system to get it working right. So far so good. Idiot light installed, alternator charging battery after start, ammeter comes back to just above 0 after a few minutes. Manifold heater...

    Ammeter

    So. Thought I d close the loop a bit. One battery was bad, other good. But went with two fresh ones and went with 1000 MCA starter batteries. Ammeter works appropriately now, assumption was bad battery drawing excessive amperage from alternator. Thx again. Another question...

    Ammeter

    Took batteries out this morning and they both show 12.5 volts sitting out of the tractor separately. Also I should mention , one was a deep cycle flooded lead acid, the other was conventional flooded lead acid. Any issues running those two in parralel? Will bring them in for a bench test, and...

    Ammeter

    Thx all, testing both batts separately sounds like a good idea. Shes not a trailer queen! She did all my hay this year as the other green one was down.

    Ammeter

    So after some help i got an idiot light working properly on my two battery 12 volt system on Oliver diesel. My existing conundrum is my ammeter seems to indicate a pegged charge when operating at anything other than idle. Voltage reads 14.5 ish while running with load. Voltage read 12.7...

    Alternator basics?

    So the 194 bulb works as described.thx! Might try the resistor as the led fits nicer in dash. Thanks

    Alternator basics?

    Hey wore out.how does one add shunt resistor conceptually? Some type of fuse type thing inline in the same circuit weak led is in? Thx everyone really appreciate it!

    Alternator basics?

    Ok, that might make some sense. So while tinkering and by accident Tractor running led light on (not supposed to be) I was multimetering all over trying to piece together what I have going on and I accidentally touched the multiprobe to number 1 and 2 and or ground.:not sure what...

    Alternator basics?

    Alternator basics?

    Id like to wire with the led idiot switch. As like diagram I attached. Tried it but led light stays on after tractors running. Resting voltage measured at starter positive post was 12.4-12.6 Voltage with lights on tractor running at same spot was 13.8 Seems like that means...

    Alternator basics?

    Trying to understand alternator wiring. Was doing some rewiring of lights on Oliver 1655. Tractor has alternator, tractor does not have external voltage regulator anymore. 1) When you remove external regulator does that mean u buy a different alternator. Or u can still use alternator...

    1655 diesel electrical basics?

    So after thinking more.it would appear what I m describing is a system wired in parralel? Voltage stays 12 volt, but amperage is more? If this is correct any gotchas for this setup? Grounded two frame on both vs wiring together then one ground ok or standard kinda practice? Thanks!

    1655 diesel electrical basics?

    Got a 1655, that runs well as far as I can tell. Lights are shabby and was thinking about rewiring. Looking into it it seems I have two 12 volt batteries. They are both grounded to frame, and connected to each their via the positive terminals. Then you have one hot cable from one battery...
