You ask:
Would a 12 Volt generator off the 1960's-70's Cub Cadet lawn tractors fit an M? Do they have enough amperage?
I dont have any part numbers or specs or data but my best guess is even if it works otherwise (which it likely can) its a low amperage unit as compared to say a 20 amp genny that a car or tractor would require. I doubt it has enough amperage to work as well as a standard 12 volt tractor genny which is more like in the 10 to 20 amp or more range....
Would a (gasp) John Deere 12 volt generator from the 20-30 series 2-cylinders be a better option fit and functionality wise?
Again, no part numbers or specs or data BUT I SAY THAT WOULD BE A FAR BETTER N CLOSER MATCH THEN THE LAWN TRACTOR UNIT
Just pushing around the idea of doing a 12-Volt conversion using a generator.
I would EITHER: Have a shop convert the 6 volt genny up to a 12 volt ORRRRRRRR get another good 12 volt genny OR you could go the alternator route. If you get a good Deere or other (many of any tractor brands still used Delco gennys) 12 volt I dont see much problem with that. Get a good 12 volt Voltage Regulator and wire it correct and polarize the genny n youre off to the races. Dont forget the ignition upgrade requirements and if you change polarity theres some simple to fix ammeter and coil wiring issues

Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
