[Farmall] Converting to 12 v system on Cub

[Paul Bazzetta]

Both Maynard (Super-A) and Homer (Super-C) were restored with 6-volt systems
that operated flawlessly (Geoff's work not mine).  The only hard part to
remember is that positive ground if you ever have to charge it externally.

Hey,  I am thinking of doing the opposite.  I got my dad's 1952 Super C back
after being out of the family 44 years.  Previous owner had converted it to
alternator and 12 volts.  I am thinking about converting it back.  Anybody
want to part with a generator they are taking off a tractor to convert to 12
volt??   

I have to do some reading/thinking to see what all I have to do to convert
it back.  I think the generator bracket is still there.

Hey, if my Farmall 340 will start on 6 volt...after an engine overhaul..so
still pretty tight, I think the Super C should start.  I did have battery
cables made from heavy duty welding cable for the Farmall 340.  Made a big
difference.

I think in general if people put as much effort into fixing their 6-volt 
systens as it takes to convert to 12-volts, they wouldn't need to convert. 
Of course, it is easier to throw parts at a problem than to actually 
diagnose a problem.  Isn't that one of the most common complaints we see 
posted about "professional" mechanics?
