First thing, check battery, alternater may not have been charging and it simply ran out of power. Depending on make of car, there are either 3-4 main fuses 3/8" X 5/8" that are either on the positive cable at the battery or in the fuse block on the drivers side inner fender. One of these may be blown. You may have fuseable links instead. This is a loop of wire that does the same thing as the fuses. Should be one of the two places. You can feel if these are burned thru. If this is the problem, what caused it must be found. Alternater likely susspect, but could be anything.

How do you fix ford 3930 tractor electrical system will not charge alt.check good?

You would start by diagnosing the problem. You'll have a difficult time repairing a defect without first identifying what it is. First, have a charging system test done, and find out what the state of your battery is. After that, you can take a digital multimeter or test light and test your electrical system from the alternator back to the battery.
