Guys here have talked about using a 6 volt generator and 12 volt regulator and say it will charge 12 volts. I have not tried that but perhaps the previous owner did since the regulator is hanging. I switched mine to 12 volts with an alternator when I got it. You mentioned the starter switch also, I changed mine over to use a start button because the switch on the starter wasn't working right. I don't know how many are still around. They seem to be a sought after collector item. I got mine quite by accident, a retired farmer had it and it was stuck. I knew nothing about farmall and thought it was a super M from what the guy said. I paid $100 for it with aftermarket 3 point. Figured I would sell parts but then got to working on it and have now gone through engine, Torque amplifier, and PTO. Does yours have the "christmas tree" hydraulic valve for 2 way hydraulics? A lot of these seem to have bad tas, usually ramp and rollers go due to misuse and they slip on the low side(lever back). Get an operator's manuel for it and the parts book and service manuel also help. As far as battery cable get as heavy as you can find. It is a fairly long distance from battery to starter, the longer the distance the larger the cable you need. I have been glad I converted to 12 volts. It starts really good and I run lights on it and sometimes on my baler. 12 volt lights are a lot easier to find and the alternator keeps up easily. For me it is a user, and I don't worry about originality. I kept the generator and regularor in case someone wants to put it back on someday. You can e mail me if you have other questions. Have learned a lot about these mostly the hard way.
