Art,

In all my years of reading this board, my conclusion is that you are just trading one set of problems for another when you change from the ORIGINAL 6V system. If you are at all electrically "disadvantaged" I would STRONGLY advise against converting. All the experts here know how the original 6v system works, AND because it is a FIXED design everyone is talking about the SAME system. When you go to a 12v, there are several DIFFERENT ways of doing the conversion - NO STANDARD!! So if you have problems when you have a conversion, it is harder to get the correct advice. Read Dells reply to the 9N post just below.

MY advice is to fix the basic problem you are having that you think going to 12v will fix. All you get from a 12v system is a little faster cranking speed - 12v driving a 6v starter motor. The coil is still going to run off the prescribed nominal voltage of 3.5v - unless you like to burn up and buy new coils. :-(

Read some of Nolands posts in the archives. He so adiquately describes how BIG a difference clean electrical connections can make to starting an N.

But if you still want to convert, email me, I'd like a 6v generator, etc.

Regards
Larry

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
