Thanks Gary. Somewhere along the way, I have lost charging from the
Alternator. I'm going to use Mark Langford's method for checking the
alternator. Hopefully I'll get the problem resolved. Thanks for the input!

Double Check your charging circuit. The voltages are too low to maintain
your battery. Anything above 1100 rpm should read in the 13.0 - 14.2 range
depending on what you have turned on. (Assuming a JD Dynamo
) The numbers you show are what I would expect if your were running on
battery only. You might see 12.2 at slow idle.
