Slow down, The chances are really really good that that tractor will run. The old saying I've heard is, if it will turn it will burn. So if you do not have the alternator read thru the archives of this site and educate your self on the conversion process and wiring diagram. Get rid of all that old wiring and replace it eliminating butt connectors and splices. Rather than a 10 si alternator I've ordered a much smaller alternator from the YT parts dept. It fits up under the hood much easier than a GM 10si. The push pull switch grounds out the mag to kill the engine,it does not energize anything in all probability. You may need to purchase a different pulley to put on the front of your alternator as I know the H belts are wide and thick. Clean gas tank and carb. It will be a glorius day when that thing pops off and runs. Good on you for saving and caring for a family heirloom. btw, I've personally converted 3 H Farmalls to 12v. I fabricated my own brackets and spacers to get the pulley alignment right. The archives here at YT have wiring schematics. I'm no mechanic but with the help of people on YT have accomplished much tractor related mechanics. gobble

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
