Howdy folks!
I bought an m1010 last winter, and since the electrical system worked fine, I haven't bothered to examine it any closer.
I have been too busy messing it up mechanically
Here is a buildthread if you are interrested:

But reading here about DUVAC and 24V alternators got me curious, so I started to do some digging under the hood.
And I believe mine has been converted someway.
I can't find any blue box, and I have one 12V and one 24V alternator (with common grounding)
The 24V charges both batteries in series, and the 12V charges only the first battery.
What do you think about this setup, will it work in the long run?
Btw. the glow-relay and plugs are civilian ones, so only the starter is 24V now
