My main reason is econonics,by the time you buy a regulator and have a generator rewound, you still have a 30 year old system.
It is hard to conviently find someone that can diag and repair gen systems, Alot of times it will be wiring probems.
With a alt, there is less wiring, will keep the battery up easier, and you can go to super wallmart and get parts. If you just put a 12v battery in and disconnect the gen, install a resistor, you can run it for a couple of weeks, months w/o charging.
I don't have the extra money to keep my tractors in the purest state,mine are working tractors,but they sure are fun are'nt they???
I went to a friends today, converted his 100 to 12v, fabed the brackets, wired it,changed the battery etc, was done in 4 hrs, it cost $190, and I put $50 in my pocket, and it looks good enough that I can say I did it, havent done a gen in awhile can it be done with a new battery for that price?
