If you do choose to switch to 12 volts, don"t use a 1 wire alternator, use a 3 wire. The alternator cannot start charging until there is voltage on the field windings, and a magnetic force is created. 1 wire alternators need to be run up to a higher rpm to start charging, and until the cut in speed is reached, the battery is discharging. 3 wire alternators can be externally excited, via the ignition switch, and will start charging as soon as excited. If you switch to 12, the delco 10si or similar, will have a built in voltage regulator. As for the coil, a 12V to 6V external ballast resistor will need to be used to reduce voltage at the coil. Or you have the option to install a internally ballasted 12 volt coil, eliminating the need for an external resistor. I agree with the others guys though. If you have the complete 6 volt system, leave it alone. Shawn

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Electronic Ignition - by Staff. Oil, for example has come a long way in the last 50 years and I don't use anything but the latest API grade available. I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
