I shall face the rath of the 6 volt purests, but here is my take on the 12 volt conversion issue. If, and only if you are willing to make the loving care and attention of your 6 volt system part of your routine maintenance, 6 volts is sufficent for your tractor. However, 12 volts can and does offer advantages. I have an unusual 9 in that not only does it have a 12 volt system, but it has a WICO magneto that has been converted to a distributor (hows that for hillbillyizing) It never cranks more than one turn before it fires, never! It ain't pretty! but it never fails! If you want 12 volt accessories like halogen lights, 12 volt pumps, radios (ok thats out on a limb) you might justify a 12 volt system. AND it is much more forgiving! CONTRARY to what some pundits on the board say there are 12 volt internal resistor coils available that DO NOT require the troublesome reducing resistor. However! they do not fit your front mount distributor! If you have an externally mounted coil, and you know what to ask for, (I.E. A Delco Remy coil for use without an external resistor) you do not need the trouble some resistors!!! You should always give more credence to the advice of folks like Zane who have been there and done that (for a living). Now that I have started someting that will get a range of opinions from a lot of folks, I will add that this is all MHO.

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.
