A D.C. generator without a load or without a regulator on it...will burn up. What does this say? The voltage goes sky high whether it be a 6v or 12v Generator. Thats why a "6V" Gen will work as a "12v" if you "allow" it to generate 12v with a 12v regulator. I have been running a Farmall M (old 6v) as a 12v system for 27 years with no problem whatsoever. I did add a resistor to the ignition coil and change lightbulbs.
A sidenote to anyone changing over to a "one wire" alternator (has built in regulator) You will have to reverse the polarity on the tractor if it is POS ground to NEG Ground. this means reversing the ignition coil polarity. Then don't forget your new polarity when jump starting, it is pretty common to just clamp on the tractor chassis and the hot wire from the battery so polarity is not evident.
