Buckeye. I have that tractor but no electrical problems yet. There are links in the forum to t-shooting charts for your tractor. I may even have them in the Intek engine manual. Look around and advise us.

In case anyone has the same problem figured it out it was the voltage regulater . Put a new one on and is charging .
