Had to look inside the Old Generator today just to see if anything looked out of place. I could only get the rear plate of where the smaller coils are. 2 of them looked over heated and were now loose. The rest were OK looking. On the end with the pulley under that plate are many connections...

I just used it for a better ground adding it going to the frame.

OK Tested the Generator/Alternator today on a long drive in Town. Ran Great and even the Speedometer started working smooth with the proper voltage! After I shut it off I checked the pair of Batteries both 13.32-13.34 so still topped off. Before they would start dropping and I charged them each...

Installed the M1078 Generator today I bought a while back off EBay. It works and is charging the Batteries OK. Total Voltage is 28.1 Volts 13.51 VDC and 14.49 VDC to the 12 Volt battery. The 12 volt one needed little more of a charge in the test? After I go for a drive leave them all hooked in...

Least my Speedometer has smoothed out and on the way home I only had 1-light on the HWY Tire Air Control. Used to work quit and started again then quit once more? Sure glad it runs, drives and stops great cause it would be a bummer having a bunch of engine and transmission problems. I still...

Back Home it was fun the parking was full so I went off road and drove to the fence next to the auction. The guys loved it and was asking if it was to be auction off? The best part was I looked over at my truck and there was someone sitting in it??? Went over to ask why when I saw his Korean War...

Doesn't this connection connect the 12/24VDC Negative to the Starter and then the braided goes to the Frame? Course the starter is bolted to the engine to for another path. Either way seems this is a important connection to be good for a lot of reasons. Driving it to a Auction this morning to...

Glad it was the Negative? It will look nicer when done. Still shinny under the nut and washers I hope. Ya looks like crap to me right now and glad I don't give up easy. Hoping this changed things to the good when corrected. Does not matter all this needed done when the batteries wiring cable...

That Block was OK I checked it at the same time. I think I found the Frame Ground Problem I was looking for. It is on the Starter Negative and the Braid going to the Frame. I will have to wipeout my neck and get to that to clean and re/do. I think this could be the charging problem? Maybe like a...

Picture time for me, better than my eyes looking at things. I will look for them now under he truck and Air Filter.

Ate lunch and did the test over again with the truck warmed up seems to make a difference. Before, starting the voltage was high 31.50 VDC. Shut it off waited to measure the Alternator Voltage later after lunch. Started the truck up Batteries were 13.54 VDC @ Front Pair and 13.87 VDC @ Rear...

I will measure it in a few and see. Also see if things have changed any on the voltage. If Voltage Regulators were not so expensive I would just part change for a test!!

OK this is getting better all the time! I was a Journeymen Electrician in 1977 and did the trade pretty much all my life even became a Commercial Electrical Administrator. That is the hardest test of all. Just never got into Electronics which is a different trade. So I learn as I go on some...

I have been using it inside and outside on the crimps plus on the Battery Posts. Great stuff been using it for years.

Tomorrow I get to work on the truck. Did do a hooked up Volt Lost Test on the batteries just the way there hooked up and engine off. Read the voltage 1 hour after shut down yesterday. That voltage was Front Pair 12.66 VDC, Rear Pair 12.88 VDC total 25.54 Volts. After 24 hours Front Pair 12.46...

I will look at those today when I get back from a day of Side Job Tractor Work so I can buy more parts! Thanks I will check my voltage on the Batteries this morning after sitting all night. I will make a note of it. Checking for current draws while off?

Found this Voltage Chart for 12/24 VDC Batteries at different levels of charge.

I saw those working on the Cab Latch I will look at the connections tomorrow. Maybe it needs a Voltage Regulator? For all the connections all you have to do is Bump the Start Button and it fires right off.

I was going to go to only 2 batteries and save the other 2 for Jump Reasons if needed. They would stay charged but not used unless needed. Just Isolated Charged Spares inside the Box

Did a test tonight and came up with this while engine was OFF with charged batteries the front two are 12.59 VDC and Rear 2 are 12.78 VDC adding up to 25.32 VDC total. Then started engine Voltage Front 2 was 13.53 and Rear 2 are 14.19 for 27.58 VDC Total Charging. Tested it under Load...
