[@WaterFaucet24]

Or, you can watch this (You Tube) on your TV…

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Hey, Andrew. I know you always want things done correctly. The voltage at the alternator should be at or a couple tenths + or - of 14 volts. Your voltage to the battery with the engine running should be within .5 volts of the alternator reading. If not, you have connection/wire problems. No way that amount of voltage drop is normal or acceptable. Dirty/corroded electrical connections, especially at the ground points will cause endless headaches. I recommend ScannerDanner's channel. He has good videos on dropped voltages due to corroded connections.

[@kinecty111]

I replace lots of charge wires for this exact reason. Sometimes they get water runs down inside the insulation and rots a small spot deep inside the wire you can't see. Easiest way to check is to throw one jumper cable from the alternator to the battery and recheck your voltage. If it comes up to the alternator voltage you know that wire is bad. If you get good with the electrical tools it gets easier. With the engine running measure voltage between the alternator positive stud and the battery positive stud. You will measure the amount of voltage drop aka current loss in that wire. Shouldn't be more than .4v absolute maximum with all the lights and accessories on.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

@@kinecty111 Great point on the corrosion internal to the insulation. Corrosion = resistance. Resistance where it's not supposed to be = bad.

[@danj285]

any easy cheap fix is just grab a new wire from the auto wrecker and double it up by having the old wire and new wire both installed

[@edbenson98]

Run new wire temporarily (alternator to battery) and if it gets more voltage then disconnect the old and replace it with new!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

@@kinecty111 Yeah it was surprising the first time I saw it in one of my cars because I didn't think of a wire going "bad" but they do and its not apparent just be looking at them.

Great video, Andrew! Gentlemen workers before me advised the best time to lube any machine was just after you finished your work. The joints are warm and take grease much easier.

Hello! 🙂 The carburetor float valves sometimes have a little rubber tip on them and that ethanol fuel can degrade it and make it useless. It is best to replace it and the seat that goes with it. Use non ethanol gas after that.

Ethanol is horrendous…pure politics and bad for the USA.

I see you fighting with machine batteries often. Had an old stubborn 85 JD 210 4wd. Best advice I got from an old farmer friend is to hook the battery tender to tractor and zip tie it there on machine. I’m up north east and having a quick plug makes life so much easier. The tender keeps topped off and it never struggled again even in a blizzard. Love content!! Thanks for all you have taught me :-)

[@sharpshorts]

For the gas drip out the overflow line, check that the tiny spring loaded plunger that is on one end of the needle valve. Make sure that it's still there and that it works properly ----- The float shuts off the flow from the tank when the float rises with the bowl level and moves the rubber end of the needle into it's seat...if the the tiny spring doesn't return the plunger to full extension or if it's missing, bent or is stuck while depressed in the needle it will allow the bowl level to rise too far, thus the excess gas flows out the overflow line.

It's funny, when watching the 'I bought a mountain' video, it crossed my mind how many trees you were cutting down. This comes from a New Englander who has no really problem in doing so, but there was something in me that, for some reason, had a reaction to it. That opening drone shot just shows how it's only a drop in a bucket. Reminds me when my grandpa told me that in the 1700s it was 90% farm land and 10% trees but now it's flipped. Truly awe inspiring seeing the vast sea of green your surrounded by, and that you could double the trees you've cut and it'd still be twice nothing haha.

Ideally the alternator output wire should go directly to the battery. You get quite a bit of voltage drop through that long wire that goes up to the ammeter then back down to the battery. I'd guess that it originally had a dynamo. It will still charge, just more slowly than if the wire went directly to the battery.

@@LesNewell Cat runs power through the amp gauge and too battery? Think ? Alt gauge then bat and changes wire size ? Been awhile since?

Andrew, as an electrical engineer with a lot of experience with batteries just make sure the straps are not so tight that they pull in on the plastic shell. If so you will reduce the life of the battery as things expand and contract with temperature.
