    Ahhh, a Delcotron 10SI alternator- my favorite conversion. Cheap, reliable, easy to build, easy to wire up, and lots of power for a use like the M. Squatch may not approve, but gets two thumbs up from this electrician.

    Hi Squatchs. I seem to remember my Dad showing me decades ago how different threads were used here back then on each end of head studs. Coarser ones where they went into the cast iron of course, finer for the nuts. I think they were Whitworth and BSF respectively. Both used a 55° thread form unlike the UNC and UNF series. One effect was that when undoing the nuts the studs tended to stay in place.BobUK

    Looking forward to the wiring .
    I love doing wiring back in the day.
    I have wired race cars from scratch.
    Calculating current draw from each device, and use proper wiring and fuse value. I was very meticulous I'm dressing the wiring and how the wire ran. if you're wearing looks anything like what you've done to the Tractor it will be excellent 👍👍

    I love that look on your face when you go around the other equipment showing off the generators. My child has that look occasionally. You two are a great team.

    I share your aversion to alternators. At antique tractor shows I peek under every hood, if the Farmall has an alternator I give it a C-minus, if it has a non-standard generator I give it a B-minus, if it has the original three-brush generator I know that everything in the universe is as it should be and I give her an A-plus.

    Alternators vs. Generators... I kept my Generator on my Cub when I rebuilt it. Bought a Solar battery charger, which act's like a battery maintainer... I have a positive and negative 12 Gauge lead coming out of the battery box, which it plugs into. I set the panel on the foot board or hood, for about an hour. Even after a year tractor starts right up! Solar battery charger panels cost about 15.00 online. The other thing I did, is for lights, I went to Napa and spent some time in the parts books... and came away with a 12V lamp that fit right into the IH Light housing. I think the lamp was for an old willies style jeep? anyways... your work is awesome. Enjoying watching the progress.

Mainly the bolts that hold the fenders on and the bots and nuts for the front axle adjustable beams together. I guess what ever they had available. I have never seen so many makeshift spacers to be able to use bolts too long for the job. Luckily there are a ton of period correct parts for the Ford 8N not that it matters...but, it matters!

    I converted my 45 Farmall A to 12 volt but I used the original 6 volt generator housing. Swapped out all the 6 volt internals for 12 volt ones. If you don't look at the battery you can not even tell. It will peg the 30 amp gauge if you adjust the light switch more than needed. It's got a mag so not much charging is needed.

      The only thing I can add to that is that mice and rats are excellent climbers. Metal screen or mesh they cannot gnaw through.
      Be very grateful the Netherlands does not have packrats. At least as far as I know,they are only found in North America.The mess a group of them can make in the crawlspace below the roof of a summer cabin has to be seen and smelled to be believed. Mouse urine is very corrosive. And they just love cellulose insulation. Had throw out bags of the stuff.
      The only good mouse is one that is being flown out by an owl.

    Funny.. I have an option on a Deere M from original owner. One of my biggest hang-ups is the cobbled on 10SI alternator.

    I took a 6v generator and converted the insides to 12v, and man it puts out more the an alternator. Just put a new voltage regular and a slightly smaller pulley to get more AMPS.

    Totally surprised at Senior putting that alternator on that beautifully restored tractor and as for the brackets, really out of place. I’d be putting it back to original with a generator . Squatch’s eye will twitch every time he see it.

    OHHHHHHH Senior! You have broken your little boy's heart by installing an alternator on that tractor. He, being a purist, like me, It should have a six volt battery and the generator to charge it. Great job. Love all these vids. :-) :-) :-)
