After a lot of thinking, what I ended up doing was putting a 12 volt voltage regulator on the generator, and a 12 volt battery. I am waiting for the lights to go out. I bought new 12v bulbs, but they haven't burned out yet - about 50 hrs tractor time now. I put a meter on the voltage leg of the generator and the generator put out 16-17 volts @ a low rpm and quite a bit higher at full rpm. Low rpm is 1000 approx. These old generators are heavily built. They will put out much more than 6v for a long time. I suspect that someday the generator will wear out, but at this rate I will be quite old. It makes a big difference in starting. The starter is real heavy built, so I never worry about that either. My 2c Irv ( my H is a 48 )
