I'm in the latter part of restoring my late grandfather's 1948 8N. In the mid 70's, my father put a 12V battery on the tractor and completely fried the 6V Generator (actually caught fire)and wiring. I've been fortunate to obtain a new set of field coils and armature and was successful in removing the remnants of the old coils.
Does anyone know what the gap should be between the armature and the pole shoes? I understand that failure to have the correct gap could result in overheating (burning the unit up) or not charging.
I'd probably switch to the 6V 1 wire system or even 12V if it wasn't for my grandfather telling me how my dad ruined the tractor. So back to factory original it goes. lol
