The NAA is definitely converted to 12 volt but the generator has three wires going from it and looks like the original, cast iron front. There are no numbers on it. Did older generators 6 and 12 both look the same? OR did whoever made this conversion leave the old 6 volt in? How do I tell what voltage a generator is? [Reply]   [No Email]

The 12V diesel does have a cooling fan and one cooling slot on the bottom as Tony suggests. The 6V gasoline does not. [Reply]  [No Email]

Many Industrial units used truck generators with the truck rubber boot on the back of them to keep water out . Thanks Tony [Reply]  [No Email]

Pictured, NAA &/or hundred series 6v followed by 12v hundred series diesel. [Reply]  [No Email]

Your 12 Volt Gen. photo is a Car or Truck Generator which ALL HAVE FOUR SLOTS in the rear of the case . Original Ford Diesel Tractor 12 Volt Gen.(made from 1958-1965 , no diesels in the hundred series) have ONLY ONE SLOT in the rear of the case pointing downward . The bands are generally on REMANUFACTURED UNITS(because car, truck, and tractors are the same case design except the cooling slots) from Ford or many of the Brand Name Rebuilders to keep the water out of them when installed in Tractors or other Ford Industrial applications .

Any 6 v can be modified into a 12v. Measure resistance of field coils with Ohmmeter connected from Field terminal to case ground & if about 2 to 4 Ohms, it is a 6v & if about twice that, then a 12v. I did say 'about'. Such a rule of thumb does not apply to 100 ampere fire truck/ambulance generators & the like. [Reply]  [No Email]
