Is there a GOOD voltage regulator available?
 

Does anyone know of a GOOD voltage regulator for our tractors with the starter/generator ? I have bought two of the cheap ones on ebay recently and one charges too little and the other charges too much (on the same tractor).These cheap aftermarket,made in India regulators seem to be inferior.

I get mine from NAPA. Cheap is almost never better...... or equal.

Napa I'd also where I've gotten a replacement before....but have you tried opening up the cheapies? They may be adjustable. But I agree with jmech. Sometimes ya definatly get what ya pay for

It would be been cheaper for you had you just bought the CC V/R in this first place. Now you have two POS to throw away and still have to buy something.

IMHO, the NAPA VR896 is a decent replacement.

:ThumbsUp:

Well said. Thank You,Gentlemen!

You can try looking here. They ship super fast.

I guess I'm weird because I buy 40 plus year old Delco VRs. I have seen the insides of the chinesium and mexinesium ones and I'm not a fan. They don't compare, not even close.

So,Alvy,,,Do you have a way to refurbish/refresh/rebuild/adjust/tweak/massage/coax/revive or otherwise renew the 40-50 year old Delco regulators,or do you just get lucky and find ones that work well?
I have a few old ones around,can they be revived?

what he said,I have a few older ones,never buy new,cause they are crap.

Well,that would explain why the old ones sell for as much or more than the cheap new ones.:biggrin2:
