I'm looking at an M. The guy has had it for a couple of years. Bought it to flip and kept it for a while. It's in good shape, no welds, runs very well, brakes work well, etc. When I went to look at it he hadn't run it in a long time - there was no battery in it. He threw a 12 volt battery in it. I asked it if was still 6 volt. He said it had been switched to 12 volt. It started normally (not fast like a 6 volt starting on 12). It looks to me like a stock generator (although I was trying not to be obvious like I didn't believe him).
Here's the question. How fast would a 6 volt coil burn up? If this guy has a charging system that doesn't work and put a 12 volt in there would it run for a while? The coil hasn't been new recently and it didn't heat up and I ran it for at least 45 minutes solid. I forgot my multi-tester or I would have checked it. It doesn't appear to be cobbled up and I think I will go for it, but I'm just trying to figure out whether I can drive it home (an hour or so) or better trailer it (which I don't have).
I guess I better go back with my tester next weekend.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
