Bob, One of the benefits of an alternator is that they start producing current at a lower RPM than a generator will. As far as I know, alternators have a self-exciter built into them and do not need to be manually excited. Luckily for me there is a company in town that manufactures 6 volt alterators and I have bought one for my H, which fits right under the hood. The company does a lot of business with the folks at the Hollywood movie studios where they use a lot of vintage automobiles that are not run enough at speed to keep the batteries up with generators. Several of the farmers in the area have put the 6 volt alternators on their older equipment, which do more idling than they do running at a higher RPM. Nothing wrong with a generator if you're plowing all day, but for short runs and lots of lower RPM activity, the alternator is the way to go. Fred - Kansas
