M-18 Kohler rectifier/regulator??
Hello everyone, got another question.
have a m18 in an 81 782. all the sudden it started blowing the 10 fuse to the PTO. i noticed that the ammeter was reading high. some times when i turn the lights on the tractor on or turn the PTO on it comes down. also i can control how high the needle climbs with the when i increase the engine rpm. (speed up engine, ammeter reads charging more. slow engine speed, ammeter runs lower). other times the ammeter just stays reading high but doesn't fluctuate. i check the voltage and it stays a continuous 15 . I've been checking every for possible shorts but cant find any. when i check the hot wire coming of the regulator and it also was 15. i was able to mow using a 15 amp fuse, but i don't want to do that because I'm scared i will burn up my PTO.
my question is, do you guys think it is my regulator/rectifier?
