I have a WD-45 with a Gleaner E engine. When I transplanted the combine engine the 12 volt Generator/Regulator worked fine so I re-used it. The only thing is the large Rectangle Voltage Regulator ended up on the side rail and does not look right. The Alternator people are quick to point it out.
When the original manual was printed "Cutout" was mounted on the generator which is old technology. My dad had both saddle mounted square regulators mounted on the generator or the Rectangle ones mounted wherever with brackets on his WD's over the years. Just wondering what the Original Tractor restorers are doing? I get the convenience of using Alternators but like the looks of the original/Dependable Generator on older tractors (8- working Generators & 2- working Alternators.)
