CAT 287b, unknown year (I think around 2010?) Serial number ZSA02652
Battery won't charge.. New battery, alternator tests at 14v output on the bench, but once it's in the machine it doesn't charge the battery. If I disconnect the alternator from everything while the machine is running, I only get 1.5v output.
On the back of the alternator there is a three wire plug, two yellow and one green. The only one that doesn't have power when I put it to a multimeter is the green one, which I believe is just for the hour meter?
What do I do? All the connections on the battery and alternator are good, the battery is new and the alternator charges fine outside the machine. Belt is tight. HELP!
