I completed my conversion back in January (2001) and cranked her (1964 Ford 4000) a couple of times, and put her in the barn. Went out there to get her last Saturday and she fired right up! My experience was great! The only thing with 1 wire 10si's is that you have to rev her up to get the alternator started charging. I can tell by my voltmeter I installed (throw that ammeter away!). After I give her a rev, the needle will jump up to 14 volts, and STAY there, no matter how slow the engine idles after that. I have heard a smaller pulley on the alternator will help the alternator begin charging at a lower engine RPM, but I am fine with mine the way it is. Since I put a voltmeter on her, I left the "idiot light" off. So far, I am very pleased with my conversion. I submitted the details of my experience here for an article, but it hasn't been put on the site yet. I'll e-mail it to you privately. Tommy D. PS - I have no interest in Genesee Products, but I would definitely get the parts and advice from them. I looked around a lot, and I couldn't find anyone, anywhere who had the parts and knowledge they have! Wellll - The parts anyway. Al Engilsh and Tony Jacobs definitely have a PhD in this area!

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
