I tried a 194 bulb. It helps the excitement, since it is now at 3/4 throttle instead of nothing at wide open. not measuring with tach but it is also the cough/kill spot when cold.
My goal is for 1/2 or less to guarantee charging in MN winter during warm up time before throttle can be pulled to higher rpm.
a 194 bulb measures 4 ohm. the sealed panel light i was using measures 30 ohm. Need to find a panel fixture that will fit a 5/8 or 1/2 in hole and take a 194 or a bayonet with 4 ohm or less resistance. tractor has sat a week without getting a dead battery, voltage in the 12.3-12.4 range, so that should indicate no diode leaks in the alternator.
i"m using stock size belt and smallest pulley (2.5in) I can without hood contact (1/4in clearance), which along with low rpm cut in are my goals for the conversion.
Looks like a regulator change or smaller belt with smaller pulley are the only way to get it any better. This alternator maybe even was a 1 wire but I never tested it as such. With the 2.5 pulley and 194 bulb the reman i tried previously might excite sooner as it was probably 500 rpm in my favor compared to the one on there now.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
