I'm with Mullaney, have it repaired. Yes, it's the more inconvenient option, but to me much more worth it in the end.

So do I need to retract? I was under the assumption that the charging system would remain constant throughout, but in light of your post, I would seem to be quite wrong lol.

Go back to your thread about wiring, find the picture I posted and go through the process that Wes describes to find out if it's the gennie or reg not allowing a charge. That should at least get you headed in the right direction. I'm still sitting on a charging issue...

It's funny how it all even came about. Dad was still alive when I first got it and it never crossed my mind what I'd mark it as down the road. Fast forward a few years, dad has passed, I made a FB friend who was doing his A1 resto when I was. He could trace his back to the MN guard unit it was...

Anytime, don't hesitate to ask if there's more that you need. In the M38/M38A1 group on FB, Wes Knettle is usually pretty good about answering the real technical questions as he's been around these machines for years.

Oof, so a few things, the schematic I posted will actually give you the info you need for most of that. I don't want to assume your vehicle is still 24V, with only the main power switch, but I will for this. One is power coming in, which is split out to the light switch and horn for constant...

Ok, so knowing that now, what is the issue? I ask only because I can't say I'm aware anything quite like that. Not that there isn't, if there's a TM that has an overhaul procedure for the gennie, it may include what you're looking for then.

If you don't have the manual, this is the standard schematic.

Wonder if there's any difference between the lower and higher output seeming how the 100 amp is for additional equipment useage.

As I said on FB, that's a steal! What's the plan?

Yup, as long as the circuit is open, nothing other than time will drain either one.

Fire away, it may take a little longer than FB to get an answer, but the info here is usually real solid.

If it looks anything like this, it's a L134. Anything else would be incorrect.

I don't know how I missed this reply for so long, but I'm sorry I did. Dad was in from '67-'69, and while I don't know for certain if company vehicles would have been marked quite that way since he was in a designated specialty unit and I'd be surprised if they actually had a large allotment of...

A week's worth of evenings and a full day today and I can finally say I have all the lights working, correctly I might add, on the C. About 40' of new wire, and a couple dozen new connectors, it's good to go, and I didn't have to shell out $800 for a new harness. I will say I was quite amazed at...

I used the pretty, expandable mesh loom on the 53, it almost looks like old fabric loom lol and I like it better than tape.

Been working on refreshing the wiring on the C over the last few days. It was a rats nest of hacked wires, crumbling insulation and just outright broken wires. So, I finally ordered some wire and Packard connectors (I know, not the correct style) to start the process. A PO had put in a pull...

Coker, Kaiserwillys, Summitt, Jegs, ArmyJeepParts, all carry the tires you'd be looking for to start with. There's more I'm sure, but this will get you started.

After almost a year, I finally got the charging system fixed. After doing a little troubleshooting over the weekend, I'd determined that the generator was faulty. I really didn't want to spend for a new one, spendy spending, but John up at Midwest hooked me up Monday and it arrived Tuesday! At...

I wasn't lucky enough for that 🤣 mine was all in pieces!
