J john2189 501 Club Sep 25, 2026 #1 I put a 12 volt alternator and battery, negative ground. The ammeter shows discharge when running. Since I didn’t change the wires on the ammeter, is it charging even though the meter shows discharge ?

S staninlowerAL 501 Club Sep 25, 2026 #2 Yup, you can verify what's going on with a voltmeter and check the battery voltage before/during/after startup. Here's a link to my experience with a RZT mower that was giving me problems: https://farmallcub.com/community/threads/vr-rectifier-replaced-on-cc-rzt-50.119848/ JMHO Stan

T tst 501 Club Sep 25, 2026 #3 yes just switch the wires , with a volt meter should read 13.5-14.5 volts if charging
