The tractors that start on cranks and have no lights will be magneto systems and the tractors with batteries AND a magneto use the battery for starting and possibly to run lights and have a generator instead of an alternator. Well, I though I got it but I'm just not so sure anymore! Don't you guys worry about it...I'll figure it out on my next two projects when I get to them and ask you then.
During the time of the older tractors Alternators were not around, so this is the reason for a Generator. Most cars did not receive Alternators until the very late 60's and earily 70's.
