The only Lucas gear I have seen has been on the British built tractors, BM, Super BM, Super W6 etc. As far as I know all US built tractors had Delco gear. My 1941 W-4 has a Delco starter, has had a generator, not here any more, never had the IH ammeter box or starter switch and the corks were still in the bolt holes under the paint where the battery box platform would be.
