This video chronicles an episode of the pitfalls and joys of living "the tractor life." Today we need to upgrade this 1970 model Ford 3000 tractor with a gasoline engine, from an old style generator to a little more up-to-date alternator system. This should improve the charging and lighting system on the tractor. Before the upgrade, the lights would pull down the battery after a while and make it hard to start. After the upgrade, The lights are super bright and there is never a problem stating the engine.
There are a couple of places to obtain a kit. I got mine from E-Bay for around $195.00 US dollars. Amazon also list some kits. I must confess, however, I could have foregone the kit and made my own brackets. But not everyone has the shop equipment to produce and weld these up. In that case, these are well worth the money. Just be aware that you should check behind the kit maker's measurements to avoid disappointments.
Also, don't take this as a "professional instructional video". It's only intention it to show how I upgraded my tractor from a Generator to an Alternator charging system, and only has entertainment value. You should be competent in your own abilities in attempting any repairs on your equipment, and you do so at your own risk.
