Indeed! I learned this the hard way many years ago when I pulled the ground cable of my mom's '62 Dodge while it was running. The resulting surge burned out every lit light bulb AND smoked the alternator.

Good advice on locating the switch away from the driver's seat too! My old Kenworth has a main disconnect mounted on the side of the battery box behind the right front wheel and ahead the fuel tank. So you gotta crawl under the cab to operate it. Also it's got sticker warning to operate switch only when the engine is stopped.

Hi Bob, Is that Kenworth 12 or 24 volts? All of the combat vehicles were 24 volts and they had slave plugs so you could jump start another vehicle. Most tanks had 8 batteries hooked up in series/parallel to get 24 volts.

We even had mobile field dynamometers so
we could've measured drawbar pull on any of those Farmalls. They used 16 batteries since they were electric drive, similar to a locomotive. I'm going to post those pictures one these days along with a picture of the Farmall A that I restored.
I did about 6 of those Standard Twins too. I see they have a forum on them too. Hal
