I was always going to convert my 24-Volt 4020 to 12-Volts, but after seeing folks who had done so often experience poorer cranking, I've left mine 24-Volt. (I do a lot of tractor and electrical system repair for others.) To crank well after the conversion, you need a quality starter, good battery cables, and CLEAN connections, as well as GOOD batteries. If you have need for a lot of 12-Volt power to run planter monitors, chemical pumps, etc., that might be a good reason to go to 12-Volts, otherwise I would leave it 24-Volts. If you decide to change it, you need a starter, for which the prices vary widely, and extra 12-Volt solenoid to interface between the start switch, the neutral start switch, and the 12 -Volt starter's large solenoid. Sometimes, you can trade the 24-Volt starter in on the 12-Volt starter, other places won't accept the 24-Volt starter as a core for the 12-Volt unit, and will make you pay $$$ core charge. You will need an alternator. A Delco 10SI is a good unit, and can be had for between $40.00 and $200.00 in rebulit form, depending upon where purchsed. I recommend a standard "3-wire" setup, rather than the "one-wire" alternators some places push. If you would like detailed conversion instructions, email me, and I'll scan them and email them to you. bigcoulee@hotmail.com

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
