Brian – 1 – Forget about “reconditioning” a 4 year old battery! If it won’t take/hold a charge after charging overnight it should be replaced. 2 – The faster a generator spins the sooner it will “cut in”, and the greater will be it’s output. Suggest getting the correct generator bracket for your H from a boneyard. Or if you make your own, design the bracket then size the belt so the adjustable pulley on the generator can opened as far as possible yet still maintain adequate tension on the belt. 3 – If the rest of your electrical system (starter, battery cables, etc) are in good shape there’s no need to go to a 12 volt alternator. The 6 volt system will spin and start your tractor just fine. However if you do decide to switch to an alternator, use a Hitachi internally-regulated alternator. It’s considerably smaller than the GM and will tuck nicely under the hood on an H. (The Hitachi was commonly used on Nissan vehicles and probably many others in the 1980’s…) 4 – I’ve had good luck with “Champion” brand batteries purchased at Sam’s Club – both 6 volt tractor and 12 volt group 31 (diesel starting) batteries. They are priced right, and they seem to last just as long as the more expensive, name brand batteries.
