I just changed my SC to a 12 volt system because of cost. Tractor battery would discharge when being used. Charged battery, had it tested, tested good. Followed the guide for trouble shooting a genny. I put on new voltage regulator, new amp guage, checked all wires. That lasted a few minutes, all of a sudden the amp guage went past the -20 and stayed there. Well now I needed another amp guage, so now I am in the hole for $80.00 by the time I buy another amp guage. And still don't know if VR was fried also or not. Genny must of had a problem or could have been the new VR. Well I just said to myself enough is enough time to go 12 volt. Had a 84 Buick that was going to the junkyard, and a decent 12 volt battery and alternator, pulled the alternater off it, bought a small pully for 5 bucks and put on the alt., eaiser then putting the pully off the genny onto the alt. Made the brackets, rewired it all with new wires except for the battery cables. Took me about 6 hours to do everything, I am not real quick at fabercating or wiring but got the job done. Now tractor starts, charges and if I have a problem not going to cost me $100.00 to fix it and maybe see that $100.00 in parts fried again. Seems to me I will save money in the long run and less headaches. JMHO

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
