I totaly agree guys, 100 volts seems extreamly high and i thought there would have been damage done to others. I agree that maybe the multimeter is off. I had the multimeter on DCV for DC Volts, originaly on 20, which after I started the tractor it said 1 to the far left which means off scale. I turned it up to the next scale which is 200 and it said around 100. Which I thought was crazy. I dont have a meter that measures amps so I cant say for sure. The dash amp meter was maxed out but swaying, with it being the original meter I would only use it as a general value and not rely on that alone.
Regardless it appears that the generator is being internaly grounded if there is continuity between the F terminal and ground. I guess I need to tear into the starter/gen and see whats going on. Hopefully nothing is toast.
I am going to tear it apart today and will post what I find.
Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I understood the charging circuit correctly.
