the 12v flywheel is slightly bigger than the 6 volt type. If you were converting up to 12 volts on a 6 volt car, the 12 volt flywheel was too big to fit within the 6 volt transaxle's bellhousing without some grinding to the inside of it to allow the 12 volt ring gear to clear the housing. There are all kinds of articles (and now, youtube videos) on how to hog out the radius of the bellhousing for clearance with a die grinder, but the cheap and dirty way was to put some long bolts through the bellhousing-to-engine block holes, loosely attach the two together, then start up the engine. Then all you had to do was slowly draw them evenly together and let the ring gear be your milling machine! It worked great as long as you took it apart and cleaned out all that magnesium dust and millings (great fun to toss into a fire!) and replaced the trans imput seal.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
