Gene - A couple thoughts: 1 - If generators are otherwise identical, the resistance of the field windings on a 12 volt generator should be about double that of a 6 volt. (Note: As field winding resistances are quite low in both cases you'll need an ohmmeter capable of reading to 0.1 ohm - ie. a digital voltmeter - to accurately measure winding resistance.) 2 - Generators ARE rotation sensitive. Brushes are positioned - and often also angled - for operation in only one direction (usually clockwise when looking at the drive pulley) ---- Incidentally converting to 12 volts to deal with a slow cranking condition is only a temporary, "bandaid" fix. Your Allis should spin over just fine on 6 volts if everything is up to snuff. Requirements are good battery, suitably heavy battery cables (not the cheap "12 volt" cables like are sold in auto parts stores...), a good starter switch and of course a healthy starter.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
