All the sudden the Alt light stayed on last time I cranked the tractor. Battery @12.3V, Alt giving various intermittent readings (connected & disconnected and at various RPMs) so thinking of ordering an alternator off Ebay. Anybody with one of this tractors that may have had same issues please reply.
History:
Bought used L2900 in 2010 & then I had to pull fuel stop to shut off engine, indicator lights & fuel gauge wasn't working. Replaced a missing fuse, put new battery in and everything worked. Electronic fuel shutoff worked as well when turning the key off after that. Guess that one fuse (that's still good) runs all that stuff.
Fast forward to now and this alt light. Oh, I noticed last winter the glow plug indicator on dash panel didn't seem to want to work even though it was below freezing. And now the instrument lights work intermittently when starting now.
-The 4-way flashers stopped working. Haven't started troubleshooting the flasher problem yet cause I don't need them to mow, but would like to know where that flasher relay is???
-Can't seem to locate any info on the relay looking modules behind the instrument panel.
-Was going to attachment a pic of alternator, but can't figure out how to do that???
Bought Ebay alternator for < $75 & that was the charging problem. Took the instrument panel off & cleaned it up then on to the 4-way flashers & corrected a ground problem to get them wiorking. Was feeling pretty good mowing til I lost the power steering after an hour. I'll seek help on another thread on that one.
