I HAVE INDEED used a 6 volt genny coupled to a 12 volt Voltage Regulator and it worked okay to charge a 12 volt battery buttttttttttt before anyone has a calf now Im NOT saying its engineering correct, I'm ONLY saying it worked. A DC generator is more of a current device then a voltage device...
The engineering reason why is basically a genny dont necessarily know its output, such is increased EITHER by turning it faster orrrrrrr pumping more current through its field windings (the job of the Voltage Regulator control) which increases the magnetic field strength in which the armature is rotating thereby increasing its output.
BUTTTTTTT the problem is, the field windings have a certain max current rating and if thats ecceeded for too long a period they may overheat BUT MINE NEVER DID
Sooooooo it can work, my conversions all did no problem buttttttttt things have to be close to right which depends on the gennys field ratings anf if its a 2 or 3 brush etc and the VR performance and specs and the duty cycle and max current it tries to put in the fields etc etc etc so just cuz one particular genny with one VR works dont mean they all will BUT IT CAN WORK AND MINE DID

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
