2n voltage regulator

I can not find a voltage regulator for my 42 2n. I have found them for 8n front mount distributor but not 2n. Will the 8n work?
 
If you have an 8N generator and wiring it would work.
The 9N and 2N's with the adjustable brush genny just had a
cutout switch between the genny and the battery. No VReg.

2b6g's.......would you believe YOU are the voltage regulator on yer 2N??? Ya haffta climb off'n yer tractor seat and adjust the charge screw on backend of yer 11-amp genny. Then ya gotta walk around and read yer amp-meter for charge. Ya wanna 'bout +3 amps charge while runnin' 1/3rd throttle. The BIGGEST reason fer haffin' to adjust the genny volts is HEADLITES on/off. Overcharging yer lead-acid battery will WARP the plates and short out the cell. Undercharging yer battery, pretty soon don't have enuff volts to run yer sparkies and yer tractor DIES out in the field. ......HTH, electrical Dell

BTW........after the 8N came out, there was a "kit" to add the 3-terminal 6-volt genny with square can voltage regulator to 2N's.

In either case, round-can or square-can voltage regulator, you STILL haffta "polarize" yer genny. Fer the 2N's round-can reg, just "arc-spark" the terminals together. Ignition ON, engine OFF. I use a pair of pliers handles, but you can use bailin' warr iff'n you want. ......Dell
 
" It has the square box on it not the one like above"

That doesn't tell us much.

JMOR posted a picture (above) of eight generators and 3 v/r's.

And you say ".......not the one like above"

Royse posted a picture of a cut out. That's not a v/r.

So, lets start over.

Does your tractor have a v/r on it now?

If yes, which one of the 3 JMOR posted.

If no, then it has a cut out, correct?

Your other left hand, Bruce!" :cry:
 
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here things have been crazy around here, I have a picture of the regulator i am talking about. So as soon as i figure out how to upload it from photo bucket i will.

Looks to me like, there has been an attempt to wire up, the same thing as I use on MY 2N.
An 8N genny and a Echlin VR 950, BUT that wiring leaves much to be desired, and really don't know what genny that is, or what VR was used.

His vr, is hung as is mine...on the tool box hanger, but does NOT really look like the Vr 950, that I used....??????
His genny looks to have the same config. as mine, BUT.....who knows without having an elect. look at it.!!!!????

My VR on my 2N....same place as his...!:


Pic. of the genny I used...came off a 48N...:


Wiring diagram, that I used with added 8N charging system...:

ooks like that to me too, Gary. The VR can looks like those used on some other tractors of the past, and I do not see a third brush adjuster screw, thus indicating one of later generators. Looks like there is a name on that VR cover. Buff it a bit & may be able to read, Delco-Remy or something else.
 
(quoted from post at 23:29:16 03/29/15) How do I figure out which generator I should have. There are two different ones on this website for 2ns.
ou probably should not want to find out what gen it should have, as if you change to that you will very likely have less charging capacity than the current generator should have.
