Snoop, I think I've read here on the forum that some people have converted M's and Super MTA's using a 12 volt generator from a MD or SMTAD which are the diesel versions of those same tractors. It would still be a generator system but most likely wouldn't require the introduction of other components like an alternator conversion does. There just seems to be a large group of folks on the forum that think a generator is like a model T item and that alternators are totaly trouble free and used on moon rockets. Just my observation, but it appears that those 12 volt converted tractors have more then their fair share of issues due to the amount of discussion they generate. With a correct and proper 6 volt system I haven't found the generators being an issue anymore then an alternator. We have a 1952 Ford 8N here on the farm dad bought new that has never had a generator system failure yet except for battery replacement. I am certainly not an expert on this electrical stuff but maybe someone will chime in with more details. I think the big problem comes in a 6 to 12 volt conversion with the introduction of the additional items needed so it will work on a 6 volt tractor. I don't know what else would be required when going to 12 volts with a MD or SMTAD generator. Good question and maybe one of the experts will share their knowledge on your question, Hal.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
