"Generator - Since the generator is not made to produce 12-volts, it cannot be modified to charge a 12-volt battery." As on the home page right now.
I just love seeing people say this. Really irks me when they talk and don't know what they are talking about. It is pure BS. I have several tractors that I have personally have converted to 12v using the original 6v gen. Who is the gen's boss. The regulator. The gen does not know what to charge unless it has something telling it what to do. It does not care if it charges 6,12, or 24 volts. The regulator tells it what to do. Your only advantage to a 12 alt is no outside regulator with open points. Whats more of an advantage is having to think up a way to mount the new alt and waste more time. If anyone has any questions on conversions feel free to contact me with them. I'm always happy to help.
