    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    I agree until I can get back to the tractor, and get all the right information, plus do some other things there is no way to diagonose the problem. Thanks to all for the back and forth discussion. I will let you know how things are going when I have done some of these things.

    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    It may be that it only has 3 caps since when I have tested the voltage after a full charge on a battery charger it only registers 6.5 volts but then if I am charging it with a 6 volt charger that would also make sense that it only charges to 6.5 volts. Since I have no way of visually checking...

    I think it has four fill caps, but I do not have access to the tractor at this time.

    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    You stated "I might look toward intermittent conditions for the kind of radical jumping ammeter readings that you report. Maybe wiring shorting or bad/loose/intermittent gen and/or VR grounds." This made reminded me that after i put the first VR on I did drive the tractor down a path in the...

    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    This is a lot of good stuff. I am going to have to take some time to digest it and see what I want to do. I noticed that based on my description of the spike in the ammeter that you have not suggested a reason for this behavior, leading me to believe that there is no one single reason for this...

    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    Well the battery was not staying charged. I would put a battery charger on it for several hours before I used it then it would start 5-6 times before I would have to re-charge it. I then thought that it was the VR because the ammeter never indicated that there was any charge coming from...

    Ford NAA Voltage Regulator problems

    I have a 1954 Ford NAA, bought it two years ago. The amp meter on the tractor has never indicated that there was any current flow from the generator into the battery. When you turn the key on the amp meter reads about +4 amps,this is the opposite of what I would expect but it does give a...

    Ford NAA will not lift implement

    Well I have my answer as to what is wrong. My brother was able to stop at the hunting land, attached the box blade to the tractor and tried to lift it. Viewing through the fill hole he says it is spewing hydraulic fluid out the other side of the lift assembly. Sounds like a case of a blown...

    Ford NAA will not lift implement

    I guess the only question I have is how likely it it that the pressure relief valve has failed. I have never was one up close and personal but what I have was for sale online for a Ford NAA looks to be nothing more than a piece of steel with several holes drilled in it.

    Ford NAA will not lift implement

    I did have it in draft control. The tractor is on my hunting land so I don't have access to it at the moment but I was thinking it was the seal on the piston that may have broke or could it be the pressure relief valve?

    Ford NAA will not lift implement

    I have a 1954 Ford that replaced all the seals in the lift, drained the fluid cleaned everything put in new fluid and everything was working great. Ran it with box blade for 45 minutes then unhooked and put 2 bottom plow on. Went to field dropped the plow and it kept going down would not stop...
