[AJD] Generator conversion 6 to 12 volts

[Louis]

Chris,

You can get a little more out of a 6 volt generator, but not 12 volts.  I
have had generators converted for customers that want a 12 volt system.
Basically, all that is done it that you have to change the field coils and
the regulator.  Then you are good to go. If you switch to 12 volts, don't
forget to change your light bulbs, and use a 12 volt coil if you have Delco
distributor.  If you have a Wico distributor, you will have to put a
resistor in the power line to the distributor.  They are available from
Deere.

   It is just an old famer's tale,  or will changing
the regulator on a 6 volt generator allow you to get
12 volts out of it?  My grandpa always said he would
put 8v batteries in the 6v systems and turn the
regulator up a bit to compensate..  Can I go al the
way to 12-14 volts the same way?  Or is there a
winding I am going to burn up in the process..
