gg,
What kind of tractor are you trying to convert to 12V?

I'm guessing it is an old English made Ford or Ferguson? If so it probably has Lucas electrics with positive earth.

It is pretty easy to do. Just stick a 12V generator or alternator with the proper regulator on it. You will have to change the coil or put a ballast resistor in series with it. The old 6V starter will spin like heck and if you are careful it might last for a while. But you really need a 12V starter or have that one rewound for 12V, especially as I think you are up in cold Canada and that is tough on starters anyway.

Should be a fun project. <GRIN>
