- Cat D3, Deere 110 TLB, Kubota BX23 and L3800 and RTV900 with restored 1948 Deere M, 1949 Farmall Cub, 1953 Ford Jubliee and 1957 Ford 740 Row Crop, Craftsman Mower, Deere 350C Dozer 50 assorted vehicles from 1905 to 2006
Unknown to me my restored 1957 Ford 700 series was moved to do some barn storm damage repair work.
An attempt to start it was made with jumper cables and failed so it was towed.
The tractor is original 6 volt positive to frame and was jumped with 12 volt negative to frame… ouch!
I have since started the tractor to load it on my trailer but no charging registers at any engine speed… :-(
No time yet to investigate further.
6 volt battery, 6 volt generator and 6 volt regulator…
Starter works fine.
