What is the purpose/use of the warning light on the 12 volt conversions? I have two Super A's and a C without the lights. Am I missing something and do I need to install the lights?

Thanks for the replies. Now I must determine which solution. I also have an Ford 8N and assume it is wired with a lamp, switch, or diode also??

Ken: I have a SA, 130 and 140, and like you I have no light. I replaced them all with a push button type switch, which I can push to excite the alternator after starting. The push button switch also prevents the back feed. I found the light to be troublesome, either burned out and 60% of time it didn't stop tractor anyhow. One of my push button switches has been going for 11 years with no problem. By the way this is a starter type push button switch and just goes in place of light.

THIS IS TO MAKE IT SHUT OFF
SO THAT THE ALTERNATER IS NOT BACK FEEDING THE COIL AND IT STAYS RUNNING OFF THE ALTERNATER

I use a diode of sufficient ratings for the same purpose. That way I don't have to do anything.

I agree with you. I just finished wiring up a Super C and used a diode instead of the light

Would you give a part number and source for a diode?

Haha!

Can't give you a part number as I drug it outta my old coffee can, it has probably been in their for 20 years! But I did have it labelled (must have been thinking of my old age!) as 1 amp, 50V diode.
Got a Radio Shack near you? The whiz kids there may be able to find you one with that rating.
Give me a shout if you need more info.

A 1 amp 50 PIV diode MAY work, but I'd use AT LEAST a 2.5 amp @1000 PIV diode to be on the safe side. Those are $1.50 or LESS each, anyway.
