    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Hobo, THANK YOU! for the detailed explanation, appreciated! I appreciate anyone's input since this is on there time. I guess i could try to dig a little deeper and see what i come up with or i will leave it as is and see how things work for awhile. I plan on adding lights so there will be a load...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Hi hobo, so If I understand you correctly the alternator is better then a generator and my amp meter is a p.o.s? Things seem to be working correctly or so I think. I have not tested the battery yet but I can if needed.

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Sean, I started the tractor and at low idle the ammeter was under 0 see pic, i then raised the rpm and it jumped to 10 to 20 then it settled down to a bit over 0 see attached pic. I noticed the higher I go with the rpm the more the needle bounces. This post was edited by PB4402 on...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Hi All! I Finally had some time to get back to it. I purchased a Denso mini one wire alternator and installed it. I had to purchase a mini alternator to clear the loader. I'm getting 12.5 volts at the battery before I start the tractor and after it's running and when I raise the rpm the volts...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Hobo, Just so I understand this and get it straight. I buy the dash bulb and it goes on the dash and the connector (from ebay) that has the two wires goes to the two connections on the alternator one wire goes to the dash light and the other wire goes to? This should fix my issue of voltage...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Application ? 12v conversion is how I bought it and wired using the type 1 connection. I used the same connections that it had on the alternator when i bought it then the wiring was replaced and I followed Rachel's wiring video for the 800 series, except it is not the same alternator. Wiring in...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    Hobo,ok fair enough, not trying to make things difficult. Had the voltmeter in my hand and decided on the ammeter, darn. What would cause the ammeter to jump around, the battery does the same thing when i check the volts with a multimeter. Would the alternator battery connection going to the...

    841 FUEL GAUGE

    All, this post is regarding my 1957 841. It has a ammeter in place of the fuel gauge currently and it does have a spot for the charge light but it is missing the light bulb and wiring. It seems redundant to have both the ammeter and charge light so I could use either depending what is more...

    Ford 841 manuals

    Here is the alternator I have, the two connections are not labeled #1 or #2 so I'm not sure if this is correct or if i should jump the battery connection too the one that is not connected. When I attach the red wire from my alternator to my ammeter and Rev the tractor the ammeter goes to...

    Ford 841 manuals

    Great Info, totally appreciated! I am not a newbie to Fords but do not have a wealth of knowledge either. I have done my fair share of repairs on Fords, motors, steering, hydraulics, etc. As i stated electrical is not my strong suit so it takes me a bit longer to it figure out. The tractor is a...

    Ford 841 manuals

    This is all good info and I appreciate it as well. I was thinking I will get the operators manual and the factory ford service manual and I should be good. I sometimes look up parts at messicks so I feel as if I am good there and if I need something I google it. I still might buy a mpc book...

    Ford 841 manuals

    I am looking to find out what manuals i should have for repair and normal maintenance on a 1958 ford 841. I already have the FO20 manual and thought the owners manual would be good as well, are there any others that offer useful info that these two are missing ?
