Dave H (MI) said: (quoted from post at 18:51:56 09/29/07) Oh, I get it!!! The tractors that start on cranks and have no lights will be magneto systems and the tractors with batteries AND a magneto use the battery for starting and possibly to run lights and have a generator instead of an alternator. Well, I though I got it but I'm just not so sure anymore! Don't you guys worry about it...I'll figure it out on my next two projects when I get to them and ask you then.
During the time of the older tractors Alternators were not around, so this is the reason for a Generator. Most cars did not receive Alternators until the very late 60's and earily 70's. Generators won't start charging until about 1000 rpm while an alternator will charge at about 500-800+ RPM's. While I am far form an expert on Farmall Tractors I would bet that most of them all came with a generator and not alternators. I have a 47 A with lights, electric start, Mag, and it's generator doses not come on-line until about 1000 RPM.
