Figured this had to go on the same board as the thread it all started on, wouldn't feel right to put it somewheres else.

I know that thread "Mini alternator for 9N or no?" a while back may have upset quite a few on this board , that was a BIG oopsie from me. I take the fault for that one. If I may have upset or offended anyone I apologize, I was stupid back then to argue with anybody, I still feel horrible for causing that mess. I've learned my lesson to never think oneself knows better like that ever again. ever since then I noticed a lot of people on the forum seem to well...avoid me and any post I make. which is fair I can't say I blame you all. I did that to myself. upsetting people on the N series forum was never the intention and it never will be, it just happens that everything went off the rails because I was in a horrible mindset at the time due to me being stressed to hell of from parents divorce figuring out what's gonna happen to my 9N and my tractors, where we were gonna go (the house got sold), how was I supposed to get all my classwork finished and on and on. (everything ended up okay in the end) it bottled up over months and I became an emotional wreck as a result. I should never have for any reason thought I knew better than experts and anybody else. So again if anybody is upset with me I apologize for being a jerk and ignoring any advice anybody else had.

As for the solutions to the thread that's to easy, the battery boiled because It was being get this: OVERCHARGED, the regulator was not good I had a 10si on there with (even better) a screwy regulator, I have a reconditioned 10si now and the battery doesn't boil anymore. I never did get that mini alternator.

I don't want to be a jerk to people and I do not want to be the forums angry beast waiting to awoken from the depths of we all know where.

Some specific users involved that deserve a special direct apology.

Hobo,NC sorry for causing a back and forth and being a huge pain In the butt, arguing, and completely ignoring any suggestions made. You were right volt meters are better they are easier for troubleshooting, and you were completely correct in saying it was overcharging, it was. I am currently saving to get a volt meter the Stuart Warner gauge is being a pain In the neck, it doesn't zero, it draws current from the circuit, and it has been acting up a lot lately. I should've listened to you.

Meangene1 Sorry for completely brushing your helpful comments off and fighting.

BtzJ02, sorry for being a complete jerk to you and trying to make helpful comments look bad (specifically the bickering comment I made), that was especially unkind of me to do as well as using that same comment as fuel to create a fight against you. I should never have done that.

I personally wouldn't blame you three or anybody else if you or anybody else never wanted to speak with me ever again you all have every right not to, I was being a complete jerk to everyone and a general pain all around.

I had to get this apology out there. Knowing that I hurt and angered many eats at my emotional well being it makes me feel awful. I felt awful ever since. I am aware and apology alone doesn't make anything I said or did on that thread right, therefore I am ready to be more mature as a human and grow up a bit. learn from those who know better, and admit when I am wrong instead of doubling down.

for those looking for context: here is that thread (click on the here is that thread for the link)
 
No problem here, your post is a good example its time to upgrade your diagnostic skills... Why folks are stuck in time I dunno well I do its not their day job and its good its not they would go broke fast.

Ammeter lubbers are the blind leading the blind







 
Stewart Warner 82112 is a pretty nice 12V voltmeter that kinda matches. It is provisioned as lighted but you don't have to put the light in it.
 
it draws current from the circuit,
Just FYI, the fact that a voltmeter draws from the circuit is inherent to its function. Just as a lamp draws current to give light, a volt meter draws current to provide a voltage reading, although it is a very small amount. A voltmeter needs to be wired in to the keyed on/off circuit so when the machine is not in use and no voltage reading is required the volt meter is off. Ammeters read amperage or current drop across their shunt, power passing through an ammeter is basically no different then if the current is passing through a wire.
