Far as the voltage drain, like others have said , check your wiring again, do a current draw test, easy way is to unhook ground at battery, put a test light in series, if it lights start unhooking until you find the area of the draw. Far as 6 volt systems, I was surely pleased when most everything went to 12 volts. Also the alternator. Was something else new to learn but it was a blessing. You couldn't put a big enough generator on a school bus to keep all things humming. Starting a M farmall with firecrater pistons, a factory 450 gas with 6 volts, real pain. Twelve volts, end of problem. Solid state voltage regulators, vast improvement over mechanical. I used to be the only guy in the area who would actually take them regulators apart, refinish or replace the points and set them back up again so I was well versed in their shortcomings. Also, when they dumped that 3rd brush generator in favor of a shunt wound two brush, another blessing. Progress some times is good. Will 6 volts systems work, of course, I have one on one of my H farmalls. Works fine. But I'm still glad they switched to 12 volts systems. .

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
