Overview
An owner troubleshooting a real charging fault on a Massey Ferguson 7718, walking through each diagnostic step: checking earth, metering the alternator, pulling and opening the unit, then identifying worn slip rings and oil contamination as the root cause. Ends with a practical cost comparison, OEM ~£330-340 vs. a generic replacement at ~£120-130, and a confirmed fix. Most useful for owners facing similar alternator issues on this model.
