I have been told that the case tractor I am tring to repair for a customer is a VA 47, my question is, did this model have a 6 volt electrical system or 12 volt system. There was no battery in it and the amp gauge has been changed out with some thing that definatly does not belong there.
Can any body help.

Hi David,
I went thru this on my LA & decided to stay with 6 volt cause I like original & was suprised that it was cheaper. The ammeter gage is $25 & the regulator(yours may be ok) was $42. The generator only needed brushes. Also, a 6v battery is $30 instead of $45 like a 12v. Once I cleaned everything up it works great.
Just an FYI.
Steve

MOST of those starters you can use either way positive or negative ground *** now I said most of them **** I just switched over a 6 volt positive ground to a 12 volt negitive ground and put a chevy alternator on and no trouble and works fine **** I made the alternator a one wire and works real good ** The alternator must be one with a internal regulator ** Done this many times before ** material cost is almost nothing *** good luck Dennis

All V models are 6 volt although many switch them to 12 volt systems. All the older tractors I have been involved in start with 6 volts providing the starter is okay, battery is good, and the cables must be heavy.

Thanks John for the info. Now for the next question, where do I get the parts and how hard is it to convert the 6 volt electrical system to a 12 volt system?

Note: This was originally a POSITIVE Ground 6 Volt system. See the button at the top of Page for 12 v conversion stuff. Any decent auto/truck electrical place can come up with a generator/alternator and starter

Re read your posting. If all you are missing is battery and ammeter why go to expense of conversion? 6 volt can work well as previously indicated
