You said that you were having generator rewired for 12 volt. Are you converting tractor to 12 volt as well? If your tractor isn't set up for 12 volt you will need to change the light bulbs or you will soon burn them out. Your starter will also turn over much faster and some people have it reworked as well. It will work with 12 volt battery but don't grind on the thing to long while starting or it will be hard on it. If tractor is equiped with a magnito and kill switch than these items can be left alone becuase they shouldn't be affected by the other electical system. Be sure the generator is polarized the right way when you put it all back together. HavinFuninMo posted some info there but it sounded to me like it was for 6v positive ground to 6v negative ground. The same info would be good for 12v positive ground to 12 volt negative ground, if tractor was already converted from 6 volt positive ground to 12 volt positive ground. You just need to do some additional things when going from 6 volt to 12 volt.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
