Shealray,

I run one wire conversions on every thing I own. I have never had it drain a battery. But I will say, yet. I have been doing it for 20 years.

So what do you need?
- 10si alternator, a self exciting regulator, and about 10 minutes. If your handy with tools. I won"t cover the install, just google or youtube, tons of instructions out there.

A little caution. To get the regulator excited and charging you need to be in the 3000-3500 ALTERNATOR rpm, not tractor. So keep that in mind. If your Ford is idling at 400 rpm with a 4:1 pulley ratio (1600 alternator rpm) you wont start charging until you hit 900-1000 rpms.

This setup runs on my Allis Chalmers WC and keeps both batteries charged with no problem. I did that tractor back in 1997. I run two battery because I have a Western snow plow and big lights for plowing in the winter.

Rick
