Narrative:

Departing tyler pounds on runway 22. As I raised the gear, I noticed a strong discharge on the ammeter. I also lost contact with tyler departure. I followed my clearance to quitman VOR. I feared I might lose all power soon so I landed a MSA. My gear had to be hand cranked down and checked to be sure it was down. Upon landing I called departure clearance, cancelled my IFR and asked them to notify ft worth center of my power failure and landing. The airplane had a burned out parallel regulator, voltage regulator, and 1 generator out. It is still unknown why this occurred.
