In Reply to: 8V Battery..... Charger posted by banjoman09 on September 04, 2020 at 14:53:53:
I guess the org. Poster is not open to the idea of replacing his dead 8V battery with a 12V and installing a ballast resistor in the wire to his distributor to protect his points & condenser. Then his 12V charger would work fine. It's like the guy is asking what time it is and everybody is discussing what type of atomic clock is the best and most accurate. You guys ALL gotta realize that 6V electrical systems are obsolete. And YES, I bet Jay Leno has a 12V alternator in his Duesenburg, because he knows if it was still 6 volt it wouldn't have enough power to start even a hot engine let alone a cold one if he ever shut it off away from his shop. None of the new technology is being put in 6V batteries, and how long do you have to look for a 8V battery? There was talk of the auto industry was going to go to higher voltage 10-15 years ago but they improved the 12V and downsized them and are still using them. Just like by the year 2010 or so we were supposed to have flying cars, and NOT those things from back in the 1950's & '60's. BUT more like The JETSON'S. As I've said here a dozen times, Dad's brand new 1951 M did NOT start the day after it was delivered from the dealer, yes, it was below zero, like Teens or 20 below zero. Tractor came off the line at FARMALL Dec. 7th, delivered Dec. 23rd, so much for "They start fine on 6V if things are right." And NOW that it has the added resistance of Char-Lynn power steering pump, and M&W live hyd pump, and M&W 4" Add Power sleeves & pistons, what chance does a 6V system have of ever starting it? But it starts great with the 1000CCA Die Hard 12V battery and Delco 10SI alternator charging it. Still has the 6V starter too. I'm actually surprised anyone would admit they switched a 6V tractor that was converted to 12V alternator BACK to 6V generator and mechanical voltage regulator after they bought it. Did you put steel wheels with lugs on it too? Guess you guys have "STATIC DISPLAYS" AS IN DON'T RUN!

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
