Chadd: Do you know if your charging system is doing the job. 15 years ago I was faced with the same on my 6 volt tractors, none of the lights seemed to be worth a damn, yet voltage and amperage all tested out. One day I was cultivating row crops with my Super A and the generator actually caught fire. I took the belt off and finished my day as I had a new battery. A couple of days later I went to my usual auto electric shop. I told him I need this generator fixed quick, and it has to be 6 volt as I have a new battery. His responce, "Quick with that old generator will be 2 weeks as I don't have the parts, quick with a new 6 volt alternator will be 5 minutes, just give me time to change the internal regulator to 6 volt." As I said that was 15 years ago, the system has operated trouble free ever since and only two years ago I replaced that 6 volt battery. My lights on that tractor are as bright as any of my 12 volt tractors. In fact in the late 90s I had 6 lights on that Super A, two head lights, one down each side for cultivating and two at rear. That system never faltered with the alternator behind it.
