Bought little cockshutt 20 Went back 6 volt to be original. No problem starting. Generator rebuilt works well. When tractor is running battery voltage across post rises to 8.82. This seems ok to me. What I wish to discuss is the generator is actually off my co-op e3 which will become a cockshutt 30 . Was thinking about using 8 volt batt on the 30 and this generator- voltage regulator as it is clearly putting out in excess of 8 volts. Naturally I will get another 6 volt generator rebuilt.Does this make sense to the electrical brain trust???????? John T are you Home????? If so we need to meet for caffinee, And who is the local starter generator rebuild fellow?? Did find a well qualified fellow at odon who does good work and clearly reasonably priced.
 
Hey neighbor, I read youre on house vacation, works for me. Im home now but headed to Texas for a week, Ill be back around the 18th.

The Local Yocals I use for genny repair are Jenkins Motor Shop (been there forever and do really good work) or Randy at Reliable Rebuilders in Bedford (if hes still there???)

That 8.82 sounds a tad HIGH to me, Im afraid it cold over boil the 6 volt battery if its ran at that voltage a longgggggggg time, keep an eye on it because it may well back down once shes charged, i.e. it may be okay as is??

I wouldnt mess with an 8 volt battery, thats a Rube Goldberg oddball/freak band aid approach in my opinion. A good 6 volt big honkin heavy duty battery and 00 gauge battery n starter n ground cables ought to work okay. Besides, 8.82 volts isnt really high if coupled up to an 8 volt battery (which is actually 8.4 volt) but Ive seen 6 volt gennys charge 8 volt batterys.

Where is the place in Odon I might get a good LP Gas price as I own my own tank?? I havent looked much yet, the only quote Ive heard is $1.74 but they will usually bargain some

See ya when I return Pilgrim
