First question is, I have downloaded the parts manual for the g12, but it shows ser. up to 0199999, my plate showes mod. 1255 ser. 0200445. is there anything diferant that you know of? next is the wiring/slash charging thing i'm concerned with now. I'm not a layman, but my moter/generator knowledge is rustier than a cast iron pot used for tomato sauce. If you seen my intro you know she's a hybid, the m/g on it is a delco remy 1101689 oh27. I'm not sure witch one that belongs to the voltege reg. has 3 connections on the side so I'm thinking it's more g12ish. Anyhow, what I'm wandering is, I know it's a low energy system, but what kind of readings should I expect before and after the V.R. to figure out if it's right or who's the #1 suspect if my battery dies in the middle of the night during a lake effect snow storm:confuse:
I also put this same question under groups, but that area seems a little neglected. Thanks in advance.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to wire the tractor as if it were a 1050.Here is the link to the Service manual which includes wiring diagrams: CLICK HERE
If the generator is functioning properly it should read between 13.50-14.00 volts if its 15 or over its overcharging. if Below 13 volts it's not charging properly

I was using my crap meter, and was basicly getting 12.4 or so battery nominal, but it was fluxuating enough from running and off combined with my hopefull wishes to trick me into thinking 1 or 2 tenths of a volt ment charge. lol (I'm not an idiot but I play one at home sometimes)


So in the morning, when it's warmer and I'm running on coffee instead of beer, I'll go reevaluate the wiring and get the 4th connected.
Again, I sure appeciate the help, experiance always makes things go better

P.O. had it for a long time but was worthless for info, and I didn't push since it was free.

Check in the service manual again and see if your wiring matches the 1050 with the magneto ignition......

and the wire going from bat to the top of the heavy wound coil is melted into. So I'll go fix that now.
