Assuming a mechanical voltage regulator, yes. There are (two or three relays under the cover) one will be a cutout relay with heavy wire around it. and two more one with both fine and heavy and one with fine only. If only 2, there will be one with heavy and one with fine wire. Adjust the tension on the relay with fine wire only. It will be the voltage control it works by vibrating the contacts causing the field to get pulsing DC. The timing and on state of the pulses control the amount of field current being made, and thus the output voltage. Id the spring holding the contacts closed is just a bit too tight, the generator over charges. The amount of change to adjust is very small. Some have a screw that is used, and some just have a tab that anchors the spring that is bent to adjust. Make sure the battery is fully charged prior to adjustment. This allows an accurate voltage setting. The cover will also affect the output as the cover changes the magnetism in the towers unpredictably. so before assuming success put the cover on and recheck. I have described the adjustment as though it was simple. It is delicate, and can be complex. Finding a Motors Manual from the late 50s will help understand what is going on. Reading is your friend. Libraries have copies and photo copying them is a real possible solution. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
