Welcome aboard Ed. Thats a perplexing problem you got there.
So if I understand you right, the L245 wasn't charging, you bought a new Kubota alt and it blew the battery. Bought a regulator and blew up another battery. You then adjusted the reg down to give approx 14 volts and now it's blowing a fuse.
Question 1, what is in the circuit that the fuse protects?
It almost sounds like something is really drawing some current on that fused circuit. It's possible that whatever "it" is could have burnt out the original charging system components and is about to get the new ones.
With that fuse out what doesn't work?
Theres usually not alot of electrics on these tractors (pre safety switches) so I'd also recommend to trace out the wireing to make sure nothing is pinshed or skinned and touching metal when the higher rpm vibrates everything more.
Let us know and good luck
Dave
