Oh boy, now you went and did it. I thought we put the lid on Pandora's box. Seriously, from what the posts say, there is nothing wrong with a properly maintained 6 volt system. I have a 12 volt, cause it was that way when I bought my 9N. It was a lousy conversion, so I redid it. By converting to 12volt, the whole thing becomes much more forgiving - allowing to operate when the components, plugs, points, wires, battery, become marginal. This is useful in a working tractor or one in cold weather, where you may not want to or have the time to or whatever, keep the 6 volt system in tip top shape. Also, if you run a lot of lights or electric accessories, 12 volt makes it simpler and the alternator will keep up with the load. Again, purists, hear me - there is nothing inherently wrong with a 6 volt system. I have done a couple of conversions on other working tractors - some green things, that worked quite well, where for years, they never could keep them starting well without a lot of tinkering. Simply put the call is yours. 12 volts is kinda the 'easy way out'. IMHO JerryU
