[QUOTE="donald73d, post: 61757, member: 6074"] In my case when I first got the machine, I could see the voltmeter jump up from off to 12V when key was turned to on. But then it did not jump up to 14V with engine running. Unfortunately at that time my machine would creep and I could not get out with machine running, so I could not measure it with my DVM. I brought the alternator to two shops and had them test it as I was certain it was a charging problem. It checked out fine both times. Finally with someone in the machine, I used the DVM to check things and realized the voltmeter was playing games. For me the voltmeter was the least important, the temp gauge the most. So I replaced all 3. Then the fuel sender. I would also suggest replacing the bulbs for oil pressure and hydraulic pressure warning lights. Mine did not work when the key was turned to ON, and I did not know they should. One of the hydraulic pressure switches has two sets of contacts and the other has a single set. So one is more expensive. I have replaced both of them also. One pressure switch powers the hour meter. [/QUOTE]
