Hello everyone!
I'm new member here, and would like to fix this old hydrostatic Craftsman 16hp lawn tractor. The last couple years I have to charge the battery before every lawn cut. This year I got a new battery, worked good for a month, but won't start again without 10-15 minutes charge. Two wire coming out from under the flywheel one charges the battery, the other goes to the lights. At the plug I measured 28volt AC on both wires from the alternator coil. What could be wrong? At this point, I would appreciate some help from this forum.
