A few days ago I asked how you can tell if a tractor is 6 or 12 volt when the battery is missing. The tractor is a Cub that is used for mowing and hasn't been ran this year.I took a look at it today concerning how its wired up. The tractor is a 1947 with a mag that has been converted to an external coil and a motocraft alternator has been added with what looks like to me an external regulator. I didn't see a resistor to the coil but the coil is tucked up under the hood and could be 12 volt.I know most alternators are 12 volt but isn't it possible to be a 6 volt? I could disconnect the alternator to try starting the tractor but I don't want to ruin the coil if I put on the wrong battery and eventually I need to get the charging system working. There is a lot of wiring on this thing and its wrapped and several ends not connected to anything so its hard to trace. I've got lots of experience with Farmalls but not with Cubs. Any thoughts on how to proceed? In my opinion someone has made this tractor a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
