Agreed. I have had my generators quit charging when they have been oiled too often. The manual states "Use 8-10 drops of SAE-20 oil. Do not lubricate excessively since gumming of the commutator may result in a reduction of the generator output". I have never seen one gummed but a slight film of oil combined with a little bit of carbon dust from the generator will stop them from working.

My opinion: There is no need to switch to an alternator unless a tractor will not start well on 6 volts. Generators with good wiring, good battery cables, and properly mainainted will be relatively trouble free. I have had problems with WD-9's that are left outside and the regulators get moisture in them--they are not under the hood so even new regulators will leak.
