After all the years reading the "How Do" posts. I finally need some advice.
I have a 1952 8N side mount with original 6 volt Generator running with a 8 volt battery. This setup with the 8 volt battery was done back in mid 1990's. It has been a blessing starting in the winter months. There is not one problem(s) with this setup. It has a 6 volt coil, solenoid, and wiring. I've replaced the old factory wiring last year.

My problem is. The Generator has gone bad. Will not charge the battery. I've done the Generator test and there is no spinning of the armature in this testing.
Out in California there is a company selling a one wire 8 volt Alternator for $175.00. With this 8 volt alternator I can keep my 6 volt coil and solenoid, but I have to change the wiring. And the person at this company tells I have to wire it up like a 12 volt one wire setup.
Anyone have a wiring diagram for a 12 volt one wire conversion for a 8N side mount tractor?
