pete 23 said: (quoted from post at 13:46:40 06/24/09) Ok, another question here. Why doesn't some co. offer a solid state regulator for these oldler model tractors. Sounds like a simple enough unit to build . I know , not enough demand to make it profitable. Deere uses a simple diode in place of a mechanical point type cut out relay on some of their old beaters. Also, the vibrating point mechanical voltage regulator has to make and break many times a second so easy to see why if points don't make good contact each and every closing the voltage will be fluctuating. They tell me the zenor diode used in solid state regulators can interup current flow up to 7000 times a second. Don't know the guy who was sitting their counting this.


I can't tell you anything about this, but found on the WORLD WIDE WEB.

Sounds promising.

I happened across this & remembered several postings from the past regarding the topic of "wish there was some way to repair these old original regulators" or "wish for Solid State REG". This might be a possibility. I can not vouch for anything here, as I have no 1st hand experience in this story. However, it looks like the poster from a Corvette forum had success with the builder. Pictures in link.



It Works !!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got the solid state voltage regulator conversion back from New England for my generator-based '61 and it works !

Seems I burnt up an integrated circuit polarizing the generator (which proved unnecessary). Can't tell any difference from my old mechanical regulator even with the lights on (at high beam) and blowing the horn.

Goodbye contact points !

Anybody else that wants this done can contact:

This fella did a good job on the hardware/electronics side in addition to great communication when I had a problem.

Be smarter than I was - send him the correct Delco-Remey V/R to convert and not an aftermarket replacement like I did.

This from Bob the guy that did the work. I just asked if he was still doing them.

Hello JMOR,

Yes I am still doing the conversion of regulators to solid-state. The cost of conversion is $80.00 plus $6.50 toward return shipping. I need a regulator carcass to convert, your desired polarity, the rated output of the generator in your car. your return shipping address and your check. Your email address is nice to have as I will keep you informed of return shipping etc.

If this is something you would like to do ship your regulator to me at:-

Wilton Auto Electric, LLC.

10 Stoney Brook Drive

Wilton, NH. 03086

I look forward to doing a conversion for you. Also I need the voltage (6 or 12) of your car. Sincerely,

Bob

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
