Ford 1600 Tractor charging problem solved!

Congratulations on fixing your tractor's charger. If you know what cars that SS regulator fits you could try looking up those car's diagrams to figure out the SS reg.

If your computer is Windows, and Vista or newer there IS a way to save the picture. Under the start menu type into the programs search box Snipping Tool. That program comes with the OS and allows you to take screen shots of an area of the screen that you select, and you can save it to a few image file formats.

Older versions of windows can save the entire screen with alt+prt sc (print screen) IIRC.

Yeah I knew there was a way... just couldn't remember the process.

On the regulator... this solid state unit is "supposed" to be a direct replacement for the mechanical unit... but oh well. I don't mind using the mechanical unit. Plus, for future reference, I measured those resistors in there in case one of them ever burns out... I can just put another resistor in there. It seems those resistors are what typically fails.
