Glenn: Are you also aware you can have a 6 volt alternator. Just a matter of changing the internal regulator on a GM Delco.

I have 3 tractors with alternators; Super A, 130 and 140. The Super A is 6 volt and has been by far the most sucessful. The Farmalls 130 and 140 are 12 volt. If it were not for the fact that I have an implement with a 12 volt electric motor those two tractors would be 6 volt as well. It is now drawing close to 11 years since I put the new 6 volt alternator and 6 volt battery in the Super A. I live in Canada and have frequent cold weather starts, and that battery is the same battery I put in 11 years ago. I say yes 100% to the alternator idea, they just do a better job charging and the batteries last much longer. By staying with 6 volt you need not worry about changing lights, coil or adding a resistor to it.

By the way, my Farmall 130 was changed to 12 volt alternator 1 month after SA and is on its 3rd battery. I just did the 140 last year. If you want to know more look up 6 volt alternators by Quick Start, or e mail me.
