Farmall H electrical system
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 11:07 am
I have an elderly H (Ser. No. FBH-14937) that I use to mow my lawn. I've had the original generator set up to produce 14.5 volts at the generator and that gives 12volts at the battery. There is no voltage regulator on the tractor and there is a 12 volt "Cutout" on the generator. The only schematic I can find on the net is for a Super H. That calls for a 10 ga. wire from the fuse holder to the "L" terminal on a regulator. Since I have no regulator but simply a two post cutout, what do I do there? The electrical box also only has a three position switch labeled from bottom to top "O" "B" "D". I've seen references to a 4 position switch but that I don't have. Can anyone help me out or point me to a schematic that will work. What is the source of current to the fuseholder in this case? I would also like to know the age of my tractor. It runs like a top, uses no oil and the gear train howls like most well used older tractors are wont to do. I run a big 72 inch Artsway belly mower and the governor hardly ever indicates a load. PS. I've used this Artsway mower for almost 25 years to mow about 4 acres and I've never spent a penny for parts except one set of blades. Best belly mower on the market in my estimation.
