Battery light stays on

Hi,

Just wondering... I have a 1986 GT18 that the battery light stays lit all the time. I asked a mechanic why that is and he really wasn't sure other than it has to do with the engine cycle or something????

Today I was mowing and ran the thing out of gas, filled it back up and went to start it and it just clicked and didn't want to turn over. Waited about 15 minutes and it started up fine, but the light is still on.

Any reason why??? Does this tractor have an alternator?? The battery is only a year or two old.

Thanks
Daryl

Hope you get it figured out! My SS12 had a melted wire to the ammeter that I had to fix the other night because it was causing the battery not to charge... All my rigs really need brand new ignition switches . Oh well, in time when i restore them :)
