The component package facilitates the alteration of a Farmall Cub tractor’s electrical system from its original 6-volt configuration to a more modern 12-volt system. This modification typically involves replacing the generator with an alternator, installing a 12-volt battery, and potentially substituting other electrical components such as the voltage regulator, lights, and wiring to ensure compatibility. It is a comprehensive solution designed for those seeking enhanced electrical performance in their vintage tractor.
Upgrading the electrical system offers several advantages, including improved starting reliability, brighter lighting for increased visibility, and the ability to power modern accessories. The original 6-volt systems can be prone to issues in colder weather or with diminished battery capacity. A 12-volt system delivers more power and efficiency, providing a more dependable operating experience and extending the usability of the tractor. Historically, these systems were developed to address the limitations of the original electrical setup and improve overall tractor performance and functionality.
