Yesterdays Tractors dot COM…
I am in the process of restoring a 1947 John Deere D tractor, s/n 172483. The tractor has a starter and lights, but the generator is gone. I have been looking for a generator. I would like to get a new wire harness, light switch and starter switch. Alternator or Generator is the question. I have located a place online that has new wire harnesses available. Q.1, Should I be looking for an alternator, and how big? Originally the tractor is a 12v system (using two big 6v batteries). Q.2, (IF), I can find two 6v batteries should I use them, OR should I go for one 12v battery, and the alternator OR would an alternator be able to charge up two 6v batteries (IF) I can find them?
I will appreciate any counsel you can give me.
Sincerely,
John I. Pyke

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
