Shouldn’t you get more than 12.8 volts from a good alternator? Could you test the red wire at the alternator and get 14 volts or so? I’ve got an L345 Kubota diesel tractor that’s not charging and all the connections at the alternator are sealed up but I’m hoping to find some place to check it’s output.
Yes, it reads 14.3 volts when I increase the idle speed. I suggest pulling the boot back on the large red wire from the battery to the alternator and then putting the positive probe from your multimeter on that bolt and the negative to exposed steel on the motor. A bad ground may also cause a no charge condition.. Good luck.
As I understand it, the fusible link burns up and cuts the connection between the alternator and battery in case of electrical failure to prevent the engine from starting on fire.
I had the same problem with my L2850. For some reason, I couln't even jump it off with my truck. Took the battery out, charged it up, then no problem. I noticed the alternator belt was a little loose so that was probably the issue.
My 98 2850 would show dash lights but wouldn,t crank. Under the clutch pedel is a "NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH". The clutch wasn,t touching it when engauged. Bolted a small piece of metal on the tab and away she went.
