After reading Bruce (VA)'s post below (what else can be said about the subject?) I was wondering if anyone ever tried to use a Volkwagen 12-volt generator on an N? Most of the later VW bug (pre--74) and early bus (pre-71)generators (before they converted to alternators) had the regulator mounted right on the top of the generator. The generators are of sufficient capacity to run about anything you would want to put on a tractor. The problems I see would be:
1. The method of mounting because they used what amounted to a cast aluminum saddle mount and heavy duty hose style clamp (maybe a bracket made from a segment of matching pipe would work).
2. The pully is metric and would have to be changed to match to crank pulley.
Just wondering.
Dell, don't get on me about using German crap on an N. If it's sacreligious, my wife will get me anyway!
