Well your advice is sound. Correct identification is the key. Being a new owner of an H that is in good shape was repainted and has all its correct parts ( sheet metal and emblems all there) Motor runs good and allthe gears work. My 6 volt system would not charge. The prior owner an amish young man did a good job but the wiring was so so. The battery cables on the 6 systems must be 2ga or larger Replaced them and a new 670cca battery Then sat with the wiring diagram for mag system with cutout that is my tractor. Found resistor on dash light switch for cutout bad burned wire. Called local IH dealer and found not made in many years but had an update kit new regulator that provides charging cutout and powers the lights also comes with complete factory directions. great ordered it The cost $120.00 ouch but what can you do . During the install what you are doing is replacing the regulator and rewiring the light circuit. Straight forward as long as your wiring is original. Mine had been replaced and I spent about 3 hrs making sure every thing was correct to factory spec. after all with a new battery at a cost of $90.00 plus the reg kit did not want to burn anything up. Any Way after all this and changing every fluid in the machine oil gear lube antifreeze new plugs and replacing the pulley seal for the aux belt pulley then came start up time Yes It Worked My battery charges lights work and my old 6 volt system will start in one crank. The Old Girl Runs Like New Money. For all of you reading this my tractor Mech is limited but I due have 30+ years as an industrial Truck Mech so there is a lot of cross over knowledge (old clark forklifts)I will try to post the IH part # for the update kit. The 6 volt system works great and this keeps the tractor OEM mine is a working machine grind feed with the aux belt every month for my cows on an old Harvey Hammermill.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
