[AT] 24 volt Deere's

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

I'll see what DB has to offer. I'll check to see if the current system is 
functioning by the book before I get real serious about converting. The '69 
4020 we had gave much better battery service--I think it had 2 6 volts. I 
don't remember what the 4430 had but it was the best system of the three.

That was because the lights and accessories would pull more than that
Generator could handle, and the battery would get sulphated.  It really
is no big deal to rewire one of them for a one wire delco alternator,
and you could use the original starter, it is 24V.   Call DB electrical
and they will send you a drawing.  I assure you that if you convert that
tractor to an alternator, you will wonder why you did not do it a long
time ago.'
