A 6 volt system will do the job very well, if in good condition with the right battery cables. However, the generator only puts out a few amps. Maybe 10-13 max. When these tractors were used all day long, they had plenty of time to recharge the battery. Now days when we back them out of the shed, drive them across the yard, shut them off and start them again to put back in the shed, the battery doesn't fully recover. Battery life is shortened when not kept fully charged. After parking in the shed, make sure the battery has a full charge. I frequently use a 6 volt automatic charger to insure a full charge. If an automatic charger is not used, do not allow the battery voltage to exceed 7.5 volts. The greatest advantage of converting to 12 volts, is the alternator. The alternator will provide quick battery recovery. When converting to an alternator, use a 60 amp gauge and you will see that after initial startup, a high charge current. Maybe 30-50 amps as apposed to the 10-13 from a generator. Alternators can be configured for a 6 volt system, however, I prefer to used a standard alternator readily available from the auto parts store.

I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
