The only Lucas gear I have seen has been on the British built tractors, BM, Super BM, Super W6 etc. As far as I know all US built tractors had Delco gear. My 1941 W-4 has a Delco starter, has had a generator, not here any more, never had the IH ammeter box or starter switch and the corks were still in the bolt holes under the paint where the battery box platform would be. I suspect, looking at the bits or corrosion there that does not appear anywhere else, the battery sat on the rear platform. The tractor never had lights. The generator bracket is in position and there was a strange plate attached to the steering column holding the magneto shorting switch ( toggle switch) and an odd-ball ammeter (broken). There is the remains of an electric hour meter screwed into the side of the engine block. Most tractors coming to NZ during the war years were literally basic so I suspect the starter was added later. I suppose that the dealers would use whatever did the job and was cheapest
