Edward: My 6 volt alternator is 3 wire, same Delco alternator most folks are using on 12 volt conversions.

The day I needed it, I had just installed a new 6 volt battery. I went to the field doing row crop cultivation, all of a sudden I realized the Super A generator was on fire. I got the fire out, removed the generator belt and headed home. When I got to the auto electric rebuilder, I asked what was quick. He said, " Quick with that old generator is 2 weeks as I don't have the parts. Quick with a GM Delco alternator will be 5 min. as I only need to change the internal regulator from 12 volt to 6 volt."

He was right, I was out of there in 5 min., same price as a 12 volt alternator. That was almost 20 years ago. Took me longer to change the generator mount to accomodate the alternator, than changing that regulator.

My Super A was changed to negative ground, alternator is 3 wire and I use a push buttom to excite the alternator. That original battery went 13 years after the generator caught fire. I've been very satisfied with the 6 volt alternator. I am now still on my second battery.

In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father ... [Read Article]
