If you go to Jim's Electric Tractor Store website, and search for
"Charger Capacitor", you'll find all three kinds.
2 mfd, 4 mfd, 20 mfd depending on the tractor type and date of manufacture.
I've honestly never really understood how the thing works with only two
diodes.

Christopher,
Just my 2 cents worth.
If that is the old GE brut force charger for large frame tractor, my
notes show a
4.0 UF +- 6% cap rated at 660 vac nom.
The small frame charger used a 2.0 UF at 660 vac nom.
I have measured that winding on an energized transformer and it is very
close to 660 Vac. Not a place for a Digital Meter.
That transformer winding does self destruct very easy and fast.

Subject: (ET) Ok, just ordered the 20uf capacitor for my E15
Spring is coming and I need to get the E15 back under power. So I just
placed the order for a 20uf capacitor (yes, the charger one says 20uf)
we'll see if that fixes the charger problem. Because charging it using
my 2a charger is for the birds :-)
