S.G., No problem with going to a 24-Volt alternator. There are lots of 4020's and 5010's and 5020's with 24-Volt alternators. The problem is, the center of the 24-volt system is grounded to the chassis. For loads like fan motors and lights, you can put 1/2 of the load on each battery. With electronic equipment loads, like planter monitors, etc., the units are polarity-sensitive, and the cases are not always isolated from the power supply wires, so, unless one is very carefull, it is easy to toast these units, either with accidental 24-Volts, or reverse polarity. I believe some of the newer 24-Volt stuff may just have the system gounded at the first negative battery terminal, but a straight 24-Volt system is not without problems, either. I have worked with a lot of the Delco series-parallel switches on semis and industrial equipment, and they are not without problems, either. As I said before, I have no problems with my 24-Volt 4020. It has no cab, and I don't run any accessory loads with it, and I would not gain anything by changing it over to 24-Volts. However, for someone who needs lots of current at 12-Volts, a 12-Volt swap may work out well, if it's done correctly.

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
