Guys,
Just purchased a used 8N that needs a little work to get it up to speed. It has been converted to 12 volt, but the guy was having some problems with the electrical before I got it. How do I determine if the current alternator on the tractor is one that has an internal regulator or whether it requires an external regulator. The tractor does have a regulator mounted currently. The alternator has the "bat" connection, and also another plug in with 2 spades (R1 and F2 I believe). Hope what I'm trying to say here is not confusing to the gurus at this site. Appreciate any info received.

if the terminal plug looks like this - - it has an internal regulator (Delco that is) if it looks like this | | it needs a VREG

I'll leave the real answers for the super-genuious's here.. but as a speculation, if the alternate has the other terminals open.. it probably needs a regulator or some means to excite it / control it.
