I recently converted my Fergie TO-20 to 12 volts. I wanted to keep it as original as possible, so I had the generator rewound to 12 volts, used a '57 Buick voltage regulator and rewound the starter to 12 volts. The electrical system was basically junk, so it needed fixed anyhow. I used two Optima 6 volt batteries hooked in series. I have more than enough juice, the lights are brighter, and it allowed me to install an Ignitor electronic ignition system. The old Fergie starts first quarter crank and the generator provides all that the old tractor needs. True, if being cheap is your priority, this is not the way to go. I have about $400 in the conversion. I wanted reliability and versatility while maintaining as much originality as possible. I am pleased with the results. Regards.....P
