2010 wiring

[D. Keller from MO.]

Anyone out there know how to wire a 2010 without a voltage regulator using a generator. I know the A and B terminals from the VR need to be tied together but do the F and L terminals also get tied together?

Since you mention an L terminal I take the Voltage Regulator to be a 4 terminal with BAT FLD LOAD and ARM terminals and often the one off on one side or the bottom all by itself is the ARM terminal.

FLD on VR to gennys Field post
ARM on VR to gennys ARM post
BAT on VR wires up to the Load (NOT
battery/starter) side of the ammeter if it
has one or else the hot ungrounded battery
post
LOAD on VR feeds hot batery voltage up to loads
like Lights n Ignition often via being
wired to their BAT input terminals

Polarize the genny before you start her up

WHY would you want to run a generator WITHOUT a voltage regulator??? (OR, are you installing an INTERNALLY-regulated alternator?)

If you tie the "F" and "L" terminals together, a LOT of smoke is gonna get let out of the system!

Also, you need the "cutout" function of the voltage regulator. Otherwise, at shutdown, the battery will completely discharge through the generator, ALSO releasing smoke!

(Were you a LUCAS engineer in a past life?)

Bon you bring the popcorn, I'll get the soda's.. Looks like there will be fireworks tonight!

Hey D. Keller.. why not sell that genny on ebay instead of sacrificing it over open flame...

Is there a VR hidden under the dash or hood? It may have been once unhooked for a alternator conversion?
Check 2010 parts catalog

JOHN I AM USING AN INTERNALLY REGULATED ALTERNATOR AND SOME ONE HAD WIRED THE TRACTOR WITH OUT A VR. I HAD IT STOP RUNNING ON ME AND I HAD SEVERAL WIRES THAT HAD COME APART IN THE WIRING. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY WOULD GO BACK TOGETHER. I THINK THE BAT AND TERMINAL 2 ON THE ALTERNATOR ARE TIED TOGETHER AND GO TO ONE SIDE OF THE AMMETER AND THE OTHER SIDE OF AMMETER GOES TO THE STARTER/+TERMINAL OF BATTERY. #1 TERMINAL OF GOES THRU A CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THE GEN LIGHT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BAT TERMINAL. THE I TERMINAL ON IGNITION SWITCH GOES TO THE COIL. THE S TERMINAL ON SWITCH GOES THRU THE STARTER SAFETY SWITCH TO STARTER SOLENOID. THE L TERMINAL TO THE LIGHTS. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS 3 TERMINALS ON THE SWITCHED SIDE THAT ARE HOT (BAT,I AND L)AND THE INTERMITTENT ONE TO THE SOLENOID.

Hey soundguy come sit in the seat when I fire it up and lets see what kind of sound we can get out of you then. I'll pop your corn for ya. Yee hah. A real barn burner.

Your first message stated you had a genny.. not an alternator. BIG difference. Also.. sounds like you have a delco 10SI type.. which DOES have an INTERNAL vr.

Sounds like it is wired right.

#1 to key switch thru lamp.

#2 to bat connection.. etc..

WHY are you "shouting"? We aren't the ones who "mucked up. YOU did, in your first post, telling us you had a "GENERATOR"!
