Thanks to all the reply's with the help on my new purchase,
I have a Delco Remy alternator, part #1100691-42A (according to the catalog listing this is rated at 60A), it is mounted on my WD (1952 I assume..the #'s on the axle are AM3635-7, H272, 10302) and its connected to a 6V battery.
Is an external regulator necessary?
Is a 12V battery a requirement (came with a 6V)?
Is there a wiring diagram for this hookup?
Thanks,
Wayne

Wayne,
The 1100691 Delco you have sounds like it's a 10SI (internal regulated) unit. The 42A stamped in the case means it's a 42Amp unit. Some of the early 1100 series units were released in the early 1970's. I'm not at the shop right now to varify that unit's model number, but I would bet it's an internal regulated version. That 42 amp will be more than enough for what you need for your application. If you have a bracket, along with the Alternator, you could switch over to a 12V neg. grd. system. Duey has some great diagrams for folks who want to wire up their machines themselves. The starter will work fine providing you don't crank on it for long periods of time. If your WD is equipped with lights, use a 12V light switch to handle the faster current load, along with an optional Voltmeter for easier monitoring of the charging system. We carry a full line of switches, electrical parts, and design and build 12V wiring systems if you need anything or if you need any more help. Drop us a line or give us a call. Be glad to help ya out!..

You can find custom-modified alternators that are 6 volt, positive ground. My only problem with those are the issues of more expense (you can get a good ol' Delco 12 volt, negative ground rebuilt for about $40) and whenever you need to do maintenance on a custom alternator, your costs are higher.

Do this: Put a voltmeter on the alternator output terminal without the engine running. If you have a 6 volt alternator, it should read as 6 volts without the engine running. With the engine running, this voltage will increase up to about 7 volts.

My honest opinion is to go to Duey's web page... and convert the whole thing to 12 volts. Since you already have an alternator bracket in-place, the hard part is done.

I've never seen a 6 volt alternator but there could be some. As far a regulator where do the wire come out of it, if the come our of the back of it, as in the other end from the pully it needs a regultor if they come out the top or what would be the curved part of it that has an internal regulator. If it only has one wire comeing out its what is called a one wire and again no regulator needed

there are 6 volt alternators, but not real common. all alternators are negative ground. is it connected and working? the big 1/4 inch lug on the back of the alternator is the + terminal to the ampmeter, then battery. the two spade connectors should be in line -- if it has an internal voltage regulator. if they are parrellel, like this , ll , then it needs an external voltage regulator. if there is power (6 volts) supplied to both the small spade terminals, then the big lug should be charging. see if it puts out 6 (7) volts. if you need mae info, just ask.
