: Have a '46 2N used as a working tractor on a small
: acreage (been in the family for 40 years, so sentimental
: value). Would like to convert to 12v alternator
: system. Since the original is positive ground, what
: must be done to starter if I put on a neg ground alternator?
: Are the aftermarket conversions (such as sold by YT)
: negative ground also? Any other tips for conversion?
: Thanks!
: Harold

Aftermarket conversions are rather pricey. You can buy an alternator for about $30 from an auto parts store - get a Delco 17si, which is used in all Chevs since day one. See post up above for wiring scheme. As far as brackets, on the 2N you can take two short pieces of flat stock, drill some holes, and use washers for spacers. You have to get a little creative on the tightener. YOu can call Central Tractor, I think they will sell you the brackets alone or John.COLO will sell them to you.

It's a relatively easy conversion, and if it is a working tractor, worth the effort.

Email me if you have questions.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
