Yes to your questions. Was curious about generator because new regulator has different configuration than old and may have field wrong. Continuity checks out on resistor and coil wire, end to end. 6V on both sides of resistor. At coil, voltage test shows 1v at coil terminal. I believe there is...

About 1950 8N. Replaced harness, resistor, coil, regulator, etc. Full continuity down the wire, 6V at switch, resister, etc. Could there be a short in generator causing this? Reversed wires on generator? Bound to be something simple.

The kid up the street offered to clean the carb while I was doing other stuff. A bit later I see him on tractor riding around. I asked how he knew it was pos ground since I didn’t have a battery in it. He had put in a 12v car battery, grounded to negative and no clue what it meant. Started and...

This other thread made me think of something. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/safety/244265-seat-belts-near-miss.html How many here know how to catch the tractor in the event of a roll over? My wife nearly rolled her GT when she hooked a wheel a few weeks back. If she haven't heard me...

Just saying hello. No tractor yet, other than a Craftsman GT5000.
