L200 system voltage?

[FreddyWestside]

I just picked up an L200 with in generally good condition with around 1,000 hours on it, I'm expecting this to be the first of many posts,

I had it delivered to my family homestead and I wanted to add a couple of LED work lights when I'm up there next, but I realized a machine this old could be 6v. Does anybody happen to know the system voltage on this tractor or do I need to take my multimeter with me and order a different day?

Being from 1972-73 it is 12 volts. A L210 is spec'd at 12 volts.

That's a bit of a collector piece right there. If you ever want to get rid of it, I think Scholten's Equipment in Lynden was looking for one to restore for display in showroom.

Careful what you add / alter on it, as shootem604 said, that's a collectors piece, and none altered or damaged could fetch some real good money if you wanted to sell it!

I'm definitely not going to modify the tractor. It was listed as an L210p because that's the service manual the owner had for it, when I went to test it I saw that it was actually an L200 and it didn't take long on google to realize it's a rare vintage model.

It has four holes on the fenders that appear to be from the factory, I was going to use those to bolt the lights on or put them. Alternatively I'm looking into a Kubota ROPS and wouldn't feel bad about drilling a couple holes in that for an overhead light bar. I hope the ROPS is a bolt-on but I'll weld if I have to. This machine feels pretty top-heavy on slopes and the manual transmission is a little more bossy than I'm used to on newer machines; it's a working machine and safety has to come first.
