NEP1, Unless you are at the lowest levels of pulling for sure you already know that 6 volts will not cut it for most "stock" tractors. While on the farm we had a 39 Dc Case which an M&W kit rendered the 6 volt system totally useless, Even M&W realized that as they made gear reduction units to modify existing starters. Fast forward to today where 260 cid tractors are now 360 cube machines built with custom rods, pistons, cams etc. C/R's pushing 13:1 have even 12V into a 6V starter at the limits. People who use old tractors on a daily basis like the security of having the engine turn on a cold morning, besides an Alternator conversion with an internal regulator is worlds ahead of the generator/ regulator combination in reliability. My favorite is the Delco 10 SI with an AC regulator which is a special regulator available that uses battery voltage to start the charge, when the alt turns , its charging, not after revving the engine as other 1 wire systems. mEl

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
