My exp with gennies runs the gambit of colors.. I've got some IH, JD, AC, lotsa ford, and a few odd pieces of industrial equipment. The gennies range from 7 a to 25 a depending on the machine. If you are running these extended lamps on units with maggies.. you have less of a problem as there is no ignition to support. I don't like running any charging system at 100% rated load for extended periods of time.. ( smaller amount of time at full load.. no problem.. heck.. short periods of over load are ok too. ). I've just seen to many gennies that sling solder if you run them at 25a and or full load.. or slightly overload for any length of time. I agree.. If nothing else.. increase rear tail light wattages to help visibility. As for foward visibility.. I'v not had a problem with my tractors that use a single 35w or (2) 35w front lamps.. I can easilly see way ahead of my driving speed ( no way to overdrive your lighting / sight distance on a slow farm tractor ). Ditto about the low rpm usage.. Gennies aren't efficient at low rpms. in fact.. some 3rd brush units actually have a charge curve that tapers off and flattens at higher rpms.. Every 6w of power used at 6v = 1 amp. Thus a: 15w lamp consumes 2.5a 35w lmap consumes 5.83a 45w lamp consumes 7.5a ..etc Soundguy

The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
