Thanks for the info, Gene. Didn't know they made 6v halogens, but even then, they still pull significant current and aren't in line with the rest of the "real world" auto electrical stuff.
I'm guessing the 3 wire 63a rated alt with a small pulley does about 12a at idle - I can measure it later with a clamp on meter if you'd like. It's overkill, but it was on the back bench waiting for this opportunity. As for using a lawn tractor battery, as stated above I try not to change what works, and putting loop terminal cables on when the standard cables are plenty heavy and still good is just more work. I've already got enough to do on the old iron here to keep things going. But that big bore tweak sounds interesting for when I get a chance to put it into the shop for some 'down time'... Then I'd probably break the next weakest part(s) :D
