Fellas, you've always helped me before with newbie questions and I sure appreciate it.
My 1966 Ford 3000 diesel does pretty much everything right, except charge the battery. When running the red light stays on (lower left hand corner of instrument panel).
I'm looking for guidance on approaching this troubleshooting. I have a spare voltage regulator and generator in the shed and can manage a VOM. I'd like to make up a checklist of tests/checks to make in first/next order to resolve this condition.
I run the tractor about every 4 weeks in the summer when I get up to our place in North FL. I mowed last weekend and will go up again in a month -- anything you can do to prepare me beforehand will be heartily appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John
