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
