Hi Pat and welcome to CMN :wave: sounds like you have a problem there as the output from the alternator should be around the 14.2 to 14.5 volts, what state is the battery in before you go looking at the alternator, does it hold a good 12.5 to 12.7 volts okay? Jeremy Hello Jeremy, thanks for your su...

Hello All, A Ford4600 has an alternator fitted. When you have the tractor running the dashlight for the alternator goes out ok, but the output voltage only rises to 12.70 volts, even at fairly high revs. Is this as good as it gets I wonder, or should I have the alternator checked on a bench. Regards...
