Hey guys,
I asked this question in Farmall board, and I'm not really getting the answer I am looking for.. so I'm gonna ask here.
I'm converting my Farmall cub over to 12V. It will still be generator, NOT an alternator. I'm not sure if it had a cut-out on it before or not, I believe it should have been a voltage regulator.. All i can do is ask the rebuilder when I pick it up if it was a cut-out or a V-reg.
The way it was wired when I pulled it seems to be the 2 posts of the generator were connected to the V.reg/cutout and the 3rd wire appears to run back to the "switch box"
Will I have to do any wiring change? If I do, can someone help tell me what I'd have to do?
I already understand I have to change the regulator (which will be done by the rebuilder) and that swapping to negative ground would be better, and that I have to change light bulbs. Mag ignition, so no change of polarity on the coil, will have to change polarity on ammeter though.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
