I was born a poor 12 volt child, raised in the house of alternators. Praise be to rectifiers!

Then I met my N. Truly this was for the heathens and unwashed masses. 6 volts? Why everyone raised in the house of alternators knows this is a sin! A *generator*? Truly an abomination! Cast this from the face of the Lord of AC!

My tractor was truly ashamed of its 6 volt dc sins, and acted it. Barely able to crank over, unwilling to start. The shame was deep.

But the call of satin was stong and unrelenting. Clean thy connectors, and it'll feel good against your skin.

So I relented. Actually, my starter solenoid melted, which inspired me to clean the other connectors since I was taking things apart, but that doesn't make as impressive a story.

Since the battery to starter soleniod cable fell apart in my hands when I removed it, I decided to replace that to. In fact, I got so carried away with myself that I decided to replace both leads, since they were itty bitty japanese car 12 volt leads.

With clean connections throughout, and adequate sized wires, I hit the starter button, confident that there would be virtually no improvement. The most surely that could happen would be a few less "e's" in the eeeeeeeerrrrrr......eeeeeeeeerrrrrrr..........eeeeeeeeeerrrrr that I normally got when I hit the starter button.

Truly I was stunned with the tractor went 'wizwiziwiz vrooom!!!" And I hadn't even jumpered the 12 volt car battery to it yet! My burning desire for 12 volts was cooled, and I no longer look at alternators with lust in my heart.

I have learned that 6 volts is quite adequate...*IF* it is maintained well. It will not tolerate the abuse and neglect that 12 volts will. It's the Eleventh Commandment; THOU SHALL KEEP THY CONNECTIONS CLEAN.

But I would still convert to 12 volts, for the right reasons (as the crowd gasps in horror). Sprayers and such are 12 volts. So's my electric hydraulic pump. And I can buy a 12 volt alternator with a life time warranty for about $25. So, if I find myself in bed with 12 volt impliments, or if my generater were to decide to die, there's a strong possibility that I would then convert to 12 volts, and lie myself down with the swine.
