Plymouthy Adams Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 if you plan to go to 12 volts the rebuild of the original generator will be wasted time/money as 12 volt wiring will not support 6 volt components with the 6 volt battery. Starter will work on the 12 volts, spin fast engage hard...spinning in short bursts will usually do no damage. Allow a bit of cool down in between if hard is one that is slow to start. Other things will need be modified when going to 12 volts also. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 Tim is correct.........need to reduce voltage to dash gauges........change bulbs in lights..........can probably just use an alternator in place of a generator.......not sure if the heater fan cares what the voltage is........others with 12v can tell you.

Flatie46 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 Morristown Starter and Generator ( located on HWY 11E ) went through both of mine just as preventive maintenance . I figured since I was putting a new engine in why not prevent other issues. I'm sure you can find one closer than shipping it to TN . Maybe this info will help someone doing a search in the future though. Quote
pflaming Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 Evans Electric in Fresno Ca. They repair these items all the time for a very large farm constituency . I've had several repaired by them. The picture is their shop. Quote
