Some of those older tractors only had 8 to 12amp generators. There were some 20 amp 12V Delco's # 1100309,1100341. And 35amp 6V Delco 1100038,1100027 used on two cylinder diesels.That work well enough making 12V just by swapping regulators. Charging the battery, running the ignition system and three lights at 4 amps each isn't going to work. In particular if the tractor does any idling or putting around at less than 2/3 throttle.

The good 40 diode units throw a clear bright white light similar to a 15W headlight and draw less than 1/2 amp each. Make certain the regulator is set with a volt meter instead of somebody looking at the ammeter and headlights then guessing. 13.8V summer and 14.2V winter. Some people think that the $49.99 Napa S10i one wire alternator is the solution. However if you check the archives on this site. You will find most people get into trouble trying to make the swap.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
