Hello, where should the VR be mounted on a International Harvester W4 from 1951. On the generator or on the chassis. The VR on my tractor is gone so i have no idea where i have to mount it.
 

I will guess the V.R. should mount somewhere on the chassis. My 1950 H has it mounted on the rear of the rear fuel tank support. My dad's '49 H had it in the same location.
 
(quoted from post at 18:04:16 11/21/15) I have 3 W-4's. All original and the VR's are on the generator.

The site won't let me edit right now. I should mention that my W-4's were built between 1941-1946 and have the L-H-D-B 4 position light switch for the older electrical system. Your 1951 W-4 likely has the 3 position O-D-B switch. I am not certain, but the VR may have been moved to the location below the ammeter/light switch box by IH on your W-4. Sorry, I should have picked up that you have a 1951 and it may be different. Hopefully other members can confirm this.

My 1940 H has the original 4 position light switch, with an original cut-out relay mounted on the generator. Quite a few of those cut-out regulators were replaced with voltage regulators, and some rewiring done to make it all work.
 
(quoted from post at 13:30:52 11/21/15) My 1952 W-4 has the VR mounted behind the light switch box that's mounted on the steering column.
Yes. The location is clearly shown in the parts catalog.
 
Hello mr Klein rot this is joel hope you got your parts. My w4s are all different years and the vr. is mounted to the back of the gauge pod on all of them. The supers have a triangle piece just for the vr.it is under the gauge pod and sits just above the rear of the fuel tank.

What years are your W-4's? I am curious about this as I suspect that only the early ones had the VR mounted on the generator.

Thx. Red.
 
(quoted from post at 14:42:37 11/22/15) Doesn't matter where it is on an H. He asked about where on a W-4.

W-4 and the H are the same engine and electrical system. The location of the voltage regulator would have changed at the same time for both tractors.
