6 volt genny

I have a 6 volt genny laying around in my way from when I converted my N to 12 volt. Worth holding onto? I'll never use it.

omeone who wants to keep his tractor original will need it worse than the scrap guy who will melt it and send it to China.

I agree with JMOR, if its serviceable, offer it to someone restoring an N for a reasonable cost.
That gets it out of your way and gives someone a part they may need.

Hey if someone needs it they can have it. It was working when I removed it from the tractor.

Rather give it to someone than to scrap it.

Rick.........you do know 8N's had 2-types of 6-volt gennys, don't you? The 4-nipple fronmount genny on the RIGHT side of the engine ...and... the 5-nipple sidemount on the LEFT side of the engine. ........respectfully, Dell

If no one else jumps on it, I would be happy to pay the shipping for it Rick.
I don't have a particular need for it at the moment, but I have several N's that are still 6 Volt.
Email is open on modern view.

OT,
Open the bids!! I run a 2N in northern Minnesota that has a 6volt generator on it. Don't know the difference between 4 or 5 but have a three brush on the 2N and also have a voltage regulator for the newer version. Would be nice to have the voltage regulated. Let me know what you decide.
Thanks,
Mr. T. Minnesota

OK Dell I didn't know that there is a difference in the gennies. This is off of a 8N front mount.

So who ever needs or wants it.

Where at in MN? I'm near Fergus Falls.

Rick

OT,
Thanks for the reply! Does the generator have one or two terminals on the case? If it has one terminal it is a three brush. If it has two terminals on the case it is a two brush which uses a voltage regulator. Either way I am interested in the generator. I am in just north of Brainerd about 8 miles. Thanks again!
Mr. T. Minnesota

I never really looked at it.

It has 3 terminals. 2 on the main body and one on the end cap. I also noticed that it has what looks to be an adjustment on the end cap too.



I'm just about 80 miles west of Brainard, right on highway 210.

ope, it is the first generation 8N generator, with 3 terminals AND 3 brushes. It did use a VR, but has only 11 amp output. 8N10000A.

JMOR,
I learned something on the Forum again. Thought there were only two versions- one post on the case and two on case with a rear post (3 total). Did they eliminate the high/low set screw later on?

N initial production through SN 137,684 used generator 8N10000A (3 brush) with regulator 8N10505A. When Service Bulletin #78 3rd brush removal was performed, the regulator was changed to 8N10505B.
At SN 137,685 the generator is 8N10000B (2 brush) with regulator 8N10505B.
At SN 263844, the distributor is moved to the side & generator 8N10001 moved to left side, with 8N10505B regulator.
At SN 308,455 the regulator changed to 8N 10505C (generator remains 8N10001). 8N10505B and 8N10505C regulators are electrically the same, but mounting is different.
8N10505B replacement applications are supplied with a mounting bracket such that the 8N10505C regulator will fit the older tractors.

8N10000A generators were 11.5 ampere output units using 8N10505A regulator.
8N10000A with 3rd brush removal AND 8N10505B regulator had, "materially increased amperage output".
8N10000B generators had 20 ampere output.
8N10001 generators were 20 ampere output units with either the B or C regulator.

Rick: would you do me a favor and measure the length of the cylindrical barrel portion of your 8N10000A generator (do not include the end plates in measurement). Also, wrap the tape measure around the barrel so as to measure the circumference. I thank you in advance for taking these measurements for me.

6 1/8 inchels long.

14 1/2 around.

Rick,
I will be in Staples on Wednesday morning at 8:30 for a vet appointment. Will leave my e-mail open to swap phone numbers if possible. I would like to travel toward Fergus that morning if that works!
Thanks,
Mr. T. Minnesota

Don't show as your email being open, try me at rlkfam at yahoo. Wen should be good for me.
