Hi, first time here, first time AC owner. Bought a 185 a couple months back. I have noticed the batteries would be dead sometimes, I put it on a charger, charged them up, and never thought much about it. In a quest to figure out where to tie in an aux 12v power supply for my round baler computer, I pulled the dash cover off and found what you might guess of a 40 year old tractor, complete with mummified rat. Not too much damage, although the green wire that goes from the #1 terminal of the VR to the Field terminal on the generator was eaten, and fully severed. Unfortunately it's pretty close to the plug that connects to the VR so might have to replace the whole connector. I see in the wiring diagram there is supposed to be a ground (black wire) that connects the ground terminal of the generator to the ground lead of the VR. There is a stray black wire floating around back there not connected to anything, and I'm assuming that's the one that's supposed to connect to the VR. Here's my question: where does it connect on the VR? The wire has a little U-shaped end on it, but I don't see any obvious places where it might connect.
Second question: Where's a good place to tie in the aux power outlet for my bailer? I was trying to track down a blue wire with white stripe that the manual says comes out of the back of the light switch and can be attached to an aux outlet if desired. I was thinking I would tie into that. Or should I just run some leads straight from the battery (which I'm guessing won't work if my VR isn't even connected because the batts aren't receiving any charge).
I'm fairly adept at figuring things out but electrics are pretty new to me so excuse my ignorance! Thanks!
