Thanks for the help and nice comments. Someone had converted at least the battery and alternator when I purchased the tractor. The tractor has a magneto. I've finished most of the hard work and now want to tackle the electrical system. I agree that here in North Georgia, the 12-volt starting system is not necessary. And, I really did want to stay orginal, but the alternator shop talked me into the 12-volt. Other than having a 12-volt alternator that came with the tractor I can go either way. Of coarse I would have to find a generator. The wiring harness was shot and I haven't bought the new one. The lights seem to be able to handle either 12 or 6-volt bulbs. So now I've come full circle. Actually I think I would like the old 6-volt sound. By the way my Dad was a IH dealer and I kinda grew up around these and am reliving my youth.

Bob, it looks like if I do stay with 12-volt, the diagram you sent to me, and thank you, is for a distributor rather than a magneto.

Any ideas where to begin to look for a generator?
