Oldtractorfan: Where abouts in Ontario, got to meet anyone who has SC, M and two SA in the family. I'm in Kerwood.
I'd strongly suggest going 6 volt alternator with these C-113 and C-123 engines. The guy who did my 130 starter was recommended to me by Forest Farm Eq. He told me he had seen this problem of dislodged whindings of armature quite often in these little engines, rare in the H, M, etc. He told me he always asks if the tractor is 6 or 12 volt. Without question it is always 12 volt.
He is convinced these starters can work on 12 volt in these little engines providing the engine and starter drive are close to perfect, providing good maintenence is carried out. Sounds reasonable to me as I never had any problem until this 130 dropped in compression.
Don't let anyone try to convince you a 6 volt alternator is difficult to find and costly. When I bought my 6 volt alternator for my SA, I told the guy it had to be quick as I needed the tractor and it has a new 6 volt battery. He said, "Quick with that old generator is two weeks as I don't have the parts, quick with an alternator is 5 minutes, as all I have to do is change two wires in a off the shelf GM Delco alternator. Same price as if it were 12 volt." He did and I was out the door in 5 minutes.
I've never looked back, that little SA has 18 year on it now with 6 volt alternator. That new 6 volt battery that was in the tractor when I installed the alternator lasted 13 years. Almost twice the life I'd ever got from a battery before or since. I credit that to the excellent charging I get from that 6 volt alternator.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
