Mate I'm glad you got the problem solved...mind you I'm disappointed you didn't try to adjust the voltage regulator that was on it originally.... Maybe thats just a mean streak in me or possibly I dont want to feel like the only twit that has jumped like a frightend school girl when the engine vibr...

The voltage regulator should be located behind your dash.

Problem solved
Changed the regulator today, and presto; 14,8V @ 1500 rpm.

Thanks a lot guys!

If the Generator is producing a charge when bridging the terminals yet no charge is making it to the battery, wouldn't this indicate the fault would lie with the voltage regulator ? And isn't that regulator fun to get at and try to adjust with the motor running.... bump..spark..:yikes: jump. :cry: ...

Hello Jorgen,welcome. The charging light works sort of the other way around. When you turn the key,the light comes on. This triggers the dynamo,that starts producing electricity(when the engine is running),and then the light goes out. The voltage on the battery clamps should be slightly higher than...

Hello Jorg, Why do you think your tractor doesn't charge the battery? When the light is of, voltage of the generator is above the voltage of the battery. When the battery is full, the generator does not produce a big amperage to the battery. How many Volts do you meassure on the battery when runnin...

Hi all. I`m new here, so I`ll give it a go; My 63`Superdexta does not charge. The charge light is NOT lit when reving to approx 800 rpm and above. When I measure on the battery terminals, there is no charge at all. Generator checked by making a bridge between the 2 connectors, and measuring between ...
