Description
If you’ve got an older Ford 8N with a side-mount distributor, you know the struggle of keeping that old 6-volt generator charging properly. This conversion kit brings your tractor into the modern age with a reliable 12-volt alternator system that actually keeps up with your electrical needs, whether you’re running lights, a radio, or other accessories.
What You’re Getting
- Complete 63-amp alternator that charges consistently at any RPM, not just when you’re revved up
- All the mounting brackets and hardware to bolt it right on—no fabrication needed
- Wiring harness that connects everything properly without cutting up your original setup
- Pulley sized just right for your 8N’s belt and charging requirements
- Resistor to balance the electrical system and keep everything running smoothly
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for Ford 8N tractors with serial numbers 263844 and up that have the side-mount distributor setup. These are the workhorses you see running hay operations, brush hogging, and handling loader work around farms across the country. The alternator puts out 12 volts consistently, so your battery stays charged and your electrical system stays reliable.
Made to Last
TISCO builds this kit to handle the vibration and conditions that come with tractor work. The alternator features heavy-duty bearings and is sealed against dust and moisture. The brackets are thick steel that won’t flex or crack, and all the connections are designed to stay tight even when you’re bouncing across rough ground.
Good to Know
This is a complete conversion, so you’ll be switching from 6-volt to 12-volt operation. Make sure your other electrical components can handle the voltage change, or plan to upgrade them as needed. The kit includes everything for the charging system conversion, and installation is straightforward if you’re comfortable with basic electrical work. A good shop manual helps if you’re tackling this for the first time.
