CA no oil pressure!

This shows the regulator you have... I dont know if it works or not... FIRST you have to show that the generator works... then check or clean the regulator.... contacts inside can be dirty  / stuck / etc.....

YES... if it uses a 6 volt battery it will be POSITIVE GROUND.

The wires should be in the same order as the drawing above.. The CENTER terminal is HOT and goes to the battery NEG terminal or starter terminal... You dont need the "L" terminal... the "F" on the corner should go to the  "F" terminal of the generator ( ground)... The "G" terminal is on the BACK and goes to the "A" on the generator.

With the reg setting on the generator, the easy test is to connect your volt meter with alagator clips on the A and F terminals of the gen.... Run a jumper from the "F" to ground..

YEP... long term you can remove disassemble and clean the commutator and brushes if you are up to that... Short term, just charge the battery once a week.

Well I’ve got a new problem. The radiator is pretty clean now, but I came out to it today and there was a puddle of water under it. I looked at where the leak was coming from and it was coming from the top tank. So I took the hood and grille off the front and to my surprise there are two holes in the top tank where the hood and grille screw together. The previous owner must have put too long of screws on there. Those holes aren’t supposed to be there right? I cleaned the area pretty well, how can I fix these holes?

clean it up real good.. wire brush, small grinder, etc.... cut a little piece of sheet metal  about 1/2 - 3/4  inch diameter and lay over it... then solder it together..... has to be REAL CLEAN !!

that should be fine..

Good old acid core solder for me. Wash it all down good when done to flush the acid away.

lead free / acid core is plumbing solder .... lead base / rosin core is for soldering wires together... you dont want the ACID on the WIRES... and you dont want the LEAD in your WATER PIPES..

Well that looks pretty good

yes 1-1/4 inch hose ID.

Well both bolts holding the radiator in from the bottom sheared off when I took it off, I tried heating the studs up and turning them with vice grips but had no luck. So instead I ground them down and welded new studs on them and put new nuts on. Putting it back on now hopefully no leaks!

Before I put the hood and everything back on I would like to adjust the valves and make sure none are sticking. The tractor backfires and smokes it seems when a certain cylinder fires. How do I adjust the valves on one of these engines?
