Anyone know why the charge light would not be coming on with ignition in on position? Also what all does the 200a fuseable link for to?
B8200 battery not charging. Ideas?

I am getting confused.
Did you replace the regulator or not?
Have you measured battery voltage with the engine running at high rpm's?
Did you replace the battery cables with complete new ones as has been suggested?
Post #2 in this thread you started contains a complete charging system testing procedure.
Have you done the testing procedure?
Why the interest in the fusible link?
To solve electrical problems you need to have a methodical approach which, step by step, narrows down the source of the problem.
To me it seems like you are jumping around and making no progress.

If the charge light is not coming on when the ignition key is turned on, the light may be bad, you have a bad ground or bad wiring, or the regulator is defective. The regulator is what controls the indicator lamp.
The 200A fuesabe link provides protection to various electrical systems on the tractor. The reason it's rated so high is because it needs to pass the current the glow plugs require. If the link was open, none of the electronics on the tractor would work.
Thanks for the info. The oil light is brightly lit when the key switch is on and the charge light is very dimly light, barely can see it but it is lit.

Here are some wiring schematics to help you. Also, the Fusible link is probably 40amp, not 200amp.
Fusible links and slow blow fuses have a color code indicating their rated ampacity.
200 amp fusible link has to be an error.
In some manuals the cross sectional area of the link wire is shown and can be misleading.
Fusible link wire typically has the cross sectional wire area in square millimeters imprinted on the insulation

Dave,
Both my B7200 and B8200 manuals list it as a 200A fuseible link. I'm guessing they carried that over from the utility world where it's about the right size for a 200A K-link expulsion fuse.... Either that or something was lost in the Japanese to English transcription of the manual.

Could you please post photos of the pages from the manuals where the fusible link size is indicated.
The fusible link photo is from the Messicks web site listing for both B7200 and B8200 models.
The green link color denotes a 40 amp fusible link.

Thanks for the photos.
Most confusing for an owner trying to buy the right fusible link.
I guess even Kubota can make mistakes

Dave_eng,
So no wire on that tractor is really capable of carrying 200 amps if you ignore the battery cables, correct?
