The original equipment gennys on those old tractors wouldnt set the world on fire (or charge the battery much either) at slow idle, especially if any lights were on, but at work RPM even if lugged at say 500 RPM, they ought to hold their own.

Its true the two cylinder Deere ran at lower RPM then say a 4 or 6 cylinder IHC or Ollie etc, buttttttttt Deere wasnt stupid and their gennys did the job fine.
