How is that backwards? The stator/alternator is higher output, and in my experience has been far more reliable than starter/generators. You're forgetting the mechanical voltage regulator for the S/G system, which needs periodic adjustment.

I have spent more time troubleshooting ONE S/G charging system problem than I have spent troubleshooting the more modern alternator/rectifier systems on tractors I have owned that were equipped with them...
