I found the problem, i think. 2 red wires were completely corroded off the alternator. I suspect it was an overload situation caused by a bad terminal on the master switch. It came from a snowy area and has seen its fair share of highway salt. The FD kept it pretty on the outside, just not so much underneath. Anyway, i'm charging one of the batteries tonight. Tomorrow, i'll re connect the wires and install the freshly charged battery. Wish me luck. As for what, i will do with it... Well, it's powerful pump will maintain the water level in an isolated irrigation supply pond when needed fr
