I converted my 1955 TO-35 to an alternator. The tach had not worked in years. I bought a new tachometer and cable like the orignal and finally found the correct tach drive from a SPAREX dealer. It was not listed on his price sheet but any Sparex dealer can get one using part number S.42905. It is called a proofmeter drive assembly. It will work with a generator or alternator that has an armature threaded for the tach drive. The alternator was hard to find. I got mine from a alternaor rebuilding shop; it is a Delco 1100928. The alternaor must be designed to take a mechanical tach drive. The internally regulated Delco 10 SI, which is very popular for 12V conversions, will not work. I had to change the voltage regulator to a 12V unit. I got an electronic on from JC Whitney. I also picked up a new 12V coil from NAPA because I didn't want to use an external ballast resistor. The tractor charges good now and the tack works perfectly. Next step is to add headlights. See the pictures below.
