How to test a B7200D Dynamo Winding

[Tractor J]

I have a B7200d and replaced the dynamo (P/N- 15531-64013). All is working great. I disassembled the old Dynamo – P/N- 15531-64013. The housing had caked on dirt on the housing, The copper wiring looks good. Bearings all feel good. How can I test the winding to see if the winding is good. With the Dynamo off the tractor. Using a multimeter, what should the ohms be? Thanks

Would a 0.3 ohm be good?
Thank You for the info. John

Hello John,

measuring a resistance that low with a multimeter is challenging. Wire and contact resistance are significant. Normally a four wire measurement is used for that.

What you should do (if not done already) is put the probes together, memorise the resistance, then measure the stator and subtract the earlier measured resistance.

Kind regards,
Hugo

Most likely it's fine, they normally will measure 0 Or Infinite when they are bad.
Like @Hugo Habicht stated measuring that small a resistance is hard.
