I have a ’49 8N front mount with a very dead generator (measured shorts in the armatures) and a now cracked pulley.
Seems like a time to change to 12V.
So do I use a 1 wire kit (never found a kit with 3 wire alternator) or find all the bits and pieces individually and do a 3 wire conversion? Bits & pieces seem awful expensive at least from this site.
Mostly concerned with mechanical issues ie brackets, pulleys and belts. Electrics is easy and I’ve done a successful 3 wire conversion on another tractor.
To make matters harder I’m 200 miles from tractor so really want to have all the stuff in hand.
Opinions?
Thanks
