I don't know, I used to think I knew, but not so sure anymore. I have a Super A, 6 volt alternator, been trouble free since 1992. I have a Farmall 130, 12 volt alternator conversion also done in 1992, now on 4th battery, 2nd alternator and I just came home today with a $217. rebuilt starter. Apparently the starter spun so fast, the centrifical force dislodged windings on the armature. You know the rest of the story.
Yes I agree with the alternator idea, but am having second thoughts about 12 volt. These little engines spin too easy. Great for big tractors. That little Super A I have is just a honey, 6 volt alternator keeps the battery well charged all the time and 00 guage cables transfer that 6 volt power well. In cold weather it will always start faster than 130 on 12 volt. The Super A is on it's 2nd 6 volt battery since 1992, first one lasted 13 years.
Just my experience. I also have a 12 volt alternator conversion on my 140, about 5 years on that now, with no trouble.
