I have fitted electric starting and lighting to my Farmall H. I went with Delco, because it meant everything just bolts straight on. The system is 6 volt, positive ground and fitted with a voltage regulator. The only problem I have found is that the Delco generator barely keeps up with the current used by the headlamps. The headlamps are 36W each, so they pull a current of 12 amps. With the rear lamp (24W) also switched on the total current flow is 16 amps. This brings the ammeter back to a discharge of about 1 amp with the motor running fast. The C39 generator on my Farmall M has no hassle with these lamps at all. Do I need to alter the VR setting or just leave it alone? Thanks in advance.
