I went with the alternator on my M. It's a farm tractor not a show piece. There are several reasons I swapped out.
1. Winter starting. The 6 volt system just wasn't doing the trick when it was -20.
2. Cost. SIL fried the genny and it was more cost effective to go with the 12 volt system. The battery was getting weak at the same time.
3. I have one battery charger, big one on wheels. It too was showing it's age and I was looking at replacements. I was supprised that the new ones I was interested in in with 200-300 amp boost didn't have a setting for 6 volt, 12 only.
I live in west MN. We moved here in 71 in farm country. Every farmer I knew even back then had 6 volt starting issues when it was 20 or 30 below. I have had people on the forums tell me that they never had a starting issue with 6 volt.
