I've got a 1952 Side Mount that I've already put a 12v coil on and have a 12v battery in. When I got it - it had the same setup but with a 6v coil and resister. I've been just charging the battery after use to avoid replacing the original 6v charging system. Not only because it's cheaper but because it has the OEM Genny and I don't generally like the idea of taking OEM stuff off these old tractors because more and more of them are become less and less original. I've got a front mount (1950) that I'm going to keep close to OEM but this 1952 is gonna be my worker so it's time to commit to making it a usable one. It was apparently totally rebuilt at some point in the last few decades because it's much tighter feeling overall than the 1950. The pump doesn't even knock
I've read several threads about the many ways a 12v alternator can be installed(1 wire etc)....I don't mean to rehash old debates but I was hoping to start a discussion on a specific kit that would be recommended. I see there are lots of kits out there - including this site and many on ebay. Most are around $100 which I like.
Please weigh-in w/any thoughts and recommendations - I'm all ears.
