Generator Not Charging Battery? Testing Generator and Regulator on the 1959 Case 300 Tractor 

Excited to see the case tractor back on the channel guy likes working on tractors much simpler than modern cars

Yes had an album back in the 80s called "Big Generator". I can't imagine what made me think of that....maybe it was this video, who knows. 😅 Good job getting the charge back in this old girl! 👍😎

Ah heck that regulator looks brand stinking new!

Very good job 👏 👍

I like all tractor's 🚜

Oh, and she's a Case 300B... the round nose from 56 to 59 was the original 300... the same chassis and 95% the same tractor I think beyond the sheet metal difference... quite reliable tractors none the less. Good luck progressing the project.

They aren't grease caps, they are for engine oil and a few drops every __ hours... probably 25 or 50 or weekly... I don't have the manual. They used these as garden tractor engine starter/generators so they have a bit of torque to turn over a 12/14/16 hp engine. Not well or overly fast, but was cheap to take care of the start and keep battery charged job. They will charge a ton if the regulator not set well.... boil her out! Always good to have an electrical load to have that electricity doing more than poring into the battery... lights on or accessories (especially if she's charging hard in the 15v or more range... hard on the battery...

Nice work, although I'd clean the two harness ring terminals before attaching them to the nice new and clean generator terminals, sort of what you attempted on the regulator and battery terminals. The only thing I didn't like was the hack-job on the battery terminals.

👍

I probably just missed it, but when you were bench testing the field pole, what was the green wire hooked up to? Awesome to see the Service Rig in action. Great video, thank you.

Was this the first outing of the service rig? Looking mighty fine there in the background.

only thing that melts down is the user haha

Прикольная хрень клеммы чистить 😁

Looks like the Ol' girl is on it last legs ...from what it looks like she hasnt been took care of ...a sad case tractor .. Sigh " people just doesnt care anymore ...anywho ..good job though 😀
