My Farmall Super A was converted to 12v before I bought it. It had a coil with external resistor, and when that died this weekend I replaced it with a new 12v coil (that is, one that doesn't use a resistor.) When I wired it up I failed to notice that the field wire to the generator came off the + post on the coil after the resistor (and therefore would have only had 6v or 8v to it.) Anyway, I wired it back to get 12v without realizing my mistake and ran it for a while (about 5 minutes.) I shut it down when the generator started smoking a little. (It's a newer three-wire Delco.) Did these use internal voltage regulators or did they rely on resistors to control the voltage output? Thanks in advance, guys. Darren
