Good afternoon. I am trying to fix the charging circuit on my new-to-me IH 340 Utility. The previous owner had just been running the 12v coil directly from a 12v battery and re-charging when dead. This killed the battery's life--it will now only let me operate for 5 minutes or so.
The tractor is equipped with a DR 6V generator 2-brush model 1100046. My searches show that this is not the original generator for the tractor, but that it likely came from a Deere or an AC. After some work, I have bench-tested the generator and it works, but the regulator was missing its cover and is completed rusted out--junk.
My question: Can I get a generic 6V 2-brush regulator and just use it? Or do I need to be particular and make sure I get one that is specific for the 1100046. This seems like a rare generator.
Also, I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on using a 12V regulator in its place, as discussed at the link provided. Has anyone done this on a tractor?
I bought the tractor for its backhoe and am not looking for a parade restore. Just trying to get good work out of it. I have a spare 6V coil, etc and will convert that over if I stick with 6V. No lights on the tractor to worry about.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
