DS7117 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Starting last year my engine would just kill. I could turn the key off and after a few seconds it would restart and be good for a while. This year it had been fine and then just died, I noticed that the circuit breaker was tripping thus causing the stalling. The ammeter would peg to negative until the breaker would trip. Yellow wire at double connector hot, plug heat damaged, changed regulator, disconnected stator wires and ran engine, have a/c voltage around 35 and a resistance to ground of stator wires of about .5 ohms is this too high. I cleaned and checked all the connections and also checked ignition switch, have new stator coming do I need it, any ideas? Dan

PhanDad Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Dan, First welcome to the club. You should post this question in the "Talking Tractors" forum, that's the main forum to use when looking for help. You should get reponses. IMO, the "Tech Tips" forum isn't read routinely by most. As to your issue, it doesn't sound like a charging issue, but a major short somewhere in the tractor. I'd bet somewhere there is an issue with a wire that has rubbed off the insulation and only contacts ground once in a while or a component that breaks down to ground when hot.
