Dynamo testing on vehicle

[@glennlingard7851]

One of the best videos out there, thank you well done!

Simple explanation on how to test your dynamo my Triumph Herald is now charging many thanks

[@BuffaloLou]

Thanks for the video. This'll help me to test the generator charging on my grey Fergy.

HAPPY TRACTORING - I like that one.

Great video thank you, will help me to diagnose my 1960 Rover P4 80

The bearing on your dynamo is a bit dodgy, I can hear it squeaking.Another way to test it is to connect a bridge like you have done, and run the engine at a fast idle, then connect a voltmeter at the large D terminal.If it reads over 12 volts, the dynamo is ok. Dynamos look nicer on engines , though not as efficient at charging though I think.

[@montegoson]

Yes I did consider the other test but it is more complicated and not good for the dynamo if they over rev it! Yes she needs a new bearing also, can get it done while I am doing the cylinder head.

[@JimF500]

Ah yeah, whatever works

Thing is with a alternator conversion as well, every tom,dick and harry at a vintage show will point it out to you 😂

I love your videos. Very informative. I've watched most of them. I bought a 1953 (I think) 3/42 that runs great, had to replace the water pump and work on retrofitted hydrolic steering which doesn't work too bad. The remaining problem is that the main hydraulics which work, because I have a loader which uses it, doesn't seem to work for the rear linkage. I thinking I may simply not know how to use it and I can't find any details.. it may actually be damaged internally. I was wondering if you might do a short tutorial on using them so I can see what I'm doing wrong. Regardless, thanks for the great information ☺️ keep it up.

[@montegoson]

The 3/42 was made between 1961 and 1964. I have another video on the operation of the hydraulic linkage & the linkage lock have you seen that? There is also a lot of information at www.nufieldtractor.com

[@RaymondAuge]

montegoson thank you. I did see the video about the linkage and linkage lock. But what I can't figure out are the function and positions of two hydraulic control levers. But I'll look again at that site. Thank you. I'll report back 🙂

[@RaymondAuge]

So I tested the lock and it works perfectly. I also finally figured out the outer of the two levers on the hydraulic head controls the linkage in 3 positions: low=?draft control mode?, middle=at rest, up=raise linkage? (please correct me if I'm wrong) However I'm still not completely sure what the inner lever does. (you probably have figured by now I'm a tractor noob, but I'm learning ☺️, thanks for your patience)

[@montegoson]

The inner lever works the external outlet that is half way down the right hand side of the hydraulic casing, it it typically used for tipping trailers. The inner lever had priority over the outer lever so if that is in use ( raised) no oil reaches the outer lever!

[@RaymondAuge]

montegoson ok I think I got it. That would explain a lot considering the tractor is fitted with a front bucket running off the auxiliary hydraulic port.
