If you want to convert for more cranking power, in my opinion it's not necessary. The same 6 Volt battery used on the Cub is used on most other IH tractors through the H. The weakest part of the system is the charging system. To convert to 12 volt you will need to change your light bulbs and install a coil resistor such as the RU4. You will change from a "+" ground system to a "-" ground. This means you will need to swap the wires on the coil. Connect the ignition in series with the RU4 resistor to the "+" coil terminal and the distributor to the "-" terminal. If you have a magneto, no changes need to be made to the ignition system. If you have the bayonet type 1133 bulbs replacement them with 1143 bulbs. For reliable charging install a internally regulated alternator such as the Delco 10SI. If you would choose a 1-wire alternator, get one with a low turn-on regulator. K-Mo
