ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

7.
With the starter engaged, this machine exhibited
a voltage-drop reading of 0.312 volts, indicating
a poor ground connection.
8.
Individually, these readings should lead a techni-
cian to inspect the connection between the sole-
noid and the ground path on the first tractor (e.g.
mounting hardware, green wire with eyelet
beneath head of solenoid mounting bolt), or the
engine and the frame on the second tractor (e.g.
loose or rusty engine mounting bolts).
9.
If both of these readings were found on the
same tractor, a common point in the system
would be the primary suspect (e.g. poor connec-
tion between negative battery cable and frame).
10.
Applying this principle to the positive side of the
system. See Figure 7.50.
IMPORTANT:
Ultimately, all positive current will
find its way from the positive post of the battery
to the negative post.
11.
To check hot-side voltage drop: set-up a multi
meter to measure 12V DC.
12.
Make a good electrical connection between the
red (+) probe and the positive post on the bat-
tery.
13.
Make a good electrical connection between the
black (-) probe and the suspect point of the cir-
cuit.
14.
Power-up the circuit in question.
15.
The voltage that shows-up on the meter is the
power that is not following the intended path
back to the negative battery post.
Figure 7.50
16.
Voltage drop on a good circuit should be less
than 0.1 volts. A voltage drop reading on the
meter of greater than 0.2 volts indicates a fairly
substantial problem that demands attention.
•
As an example, if the tractor had a slow-turning
starter, the ground-side voltage drop measured
below 0.1 volts, and there was not a parasitic
load on the engine (e.g. PTO clutch that is not
fully disengaged), it would be logical for the tech-
nician to check voltage drop to the starter.
See Figure 7.51.
•
With the starter motor engaged, the voltage drop
reading here is nearly 0.6 volts, indicating a seri-
ous problem in the heavy-gauge circuit between
the starter and the battery.
NOTE:
Checking voltage-drop at various points
along the circuit can help pin-point the problem.
•
Check voltage-drop at the output lug on the
starter solenoid:
•
If there is a significant difference, the problem
lies between the lug on the solenoid and the lug
on the starter.
•
If there is little change, the problem lies further
up-stream.
•
Check voltage drop at the input lug on the sole-
noid. If there is significant difference between
the reading here and the reading at the output
lug (greater than 0.10 volt), then the contacts
inside the solenoid may be burned. If there is lit-
tle change, the problem lies further up-stream,
between the battery and the solenoid.
•
Results may be cross-checked by testing volt-
age drop across the two posts of the starter sole-
noid while cranking the starter motor.
