You can have the starter/generator rebuilt. That would be a cheaper option that would keep it original. You may also have a wire that is grounding and that may be thecause of your issue. I would check the starter/generator with a multimeter to ensure that its the issue before doing anything.

Pull out the battery and have it load tested...it could be a bad battery....you can buy a rebuilding kit for the starter generator from ISaveTractors.com
... as @ericforster suggests, check what is coming off the generator with a multi meter...good luck with it...they are nice tractors 👍

Does your machine have a voltage regulator? If so, check to see if the points inside it are corroded. Clean them with a nail file or some folded emery cloth, then recheck the voltage throughput. If all working properly, you should see something north of 13v at the battery terminals when the engine is above idle.
Maybe someone can provide the specs on the voltage expected, but it should be above the 12v of the battery alone.
Batteries that are more than 4 or 5 years old are always suspects. Especially if stored in off seasons in unheated storage, that seems to shorten their lives. Terminals and ground connections also should be cleaned and reattached just to eliminate that as a problem area. That is a no cost item.
Mark's suggestion of checking the generator output with a multi meter is a very good first step. (If you don't have one, you can get a workable one at Home Depot, they are useful tools). It is always better, and a lot cheaper to identify the problem before buying parts.
Not sure what year your 222 is but here is a diagram of the system for the Kohler equipped 222. Maybe it will give you some ideas on tracking down exactly what has failed in the charging system.

Also, here is a link to an MTF charging problem discussion from a while back. Reading through it might give you some ideas and clues.
Good luck and let the forum know how you are making out with the problem.

case 222 not charging
i have a case 222 with a starter generator its not charging im not sure were to start to test things and also what should the voltage regulator be gaped at? :thanku:

Thank you for sharing the diagram. Mine seems a little different because I don't have a gen light as it lists, the only thing I have that seems somewhat equivalent to that is the hour meter. No ammeter or voltage meter. I do believe I have the voltage regulator though, I think I found it yesterday when I started to tear into it. I think it was behind a panel under the steering wheel and dash areaDoes your machine have a voltage regulator? If so, check to see if the points inside it are corroded.
