Ron..... ....One of the first things I did to my NAA when I got it was to convert to 12V (with-out knowing how). I ran it for at least a year with it not charging. With the help of the guys here, it is now working perfectly. The knowledge I gained from fixing that problem was worth the aggravation. The 8N had already been converted when I got it. Have not had problem with it but, form causal observation, it looks like the previous owner used a starter relay to de-couple the “tickle” wire to the alternator. If I every have a problem with it, I have no doubt I will know how to fix. Thanks to Dell, and the problem with the NAA, I now know “several ways to do it right the first time”. I use these tractors to work not show and if I got an other one today, I would convert a soon a possible. Advantages of 12V charging system: faster starting when engine is not tuned perfectly, jump stating from 12V with-out by-passing starter safety inter-lock, using tractor to jump start another vehicles , using 12V spray pump or other 12V equipment, not having to invest in charger with 6V charging capabilities, brighter lights. Disadvantages of 12V charging system: not original Thanks E. Ray
