I'm looking at an M. The guy has had it for a couple of years. Bought it to flip and kept it for a while. It's in good shape, no welds, runs very well, brakes work well, etc. When I went to look at it he hadn't run it in a long time - there was no battery in it. He threw a 12 volt battery in it. I asked it if was still 6 volt. He said it had been switched to 12 volt. It started normally (not fast like a 6 volt starting on 12). It looks to me like a stock generator (although I was trying not to be obvious like I didn't believe him).
Here's the question. How fast would a 6 volt coil burn up? If this guy has a charging system that doesn't work and put a 12 volt in there would it run for a while? The coil hasn't been new recently and it didn't heat up and I ran it for at least 45 minutes solid. I forgot my multi-tester or I would have checked it. It doesn't appear to be cobbled up and I think I will go for it, but I'm just trying to figure out whether I can drive it home (an hour or so) or better trailer it (which I don't have).
I guess I better go back with my tester next weekend.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
