Bob..... ...I'm glad you searched the "archives" and found a little info about the frontmount "ballast resistor". Realize that there are a lot of automobile ignition systems outthere where the ballast resistor is "bypassed" during starting for hotter sparkies and as soon as you let up on the key the ballast resistor is automatically switched back into the ignition circuit. Now with that information, someone could incorrectly deduce that the N-Tractor needs to bypass the ballast resistor for eazier starting. WRONG. For good starting on your 6 volt front mount N-Tractor, you need clean and tight battery connections with heavy 2 gauge battery wires. 12 volt battery cables just don't have enuff ampacity. And you need 14 gauge wire to the ignition coil. For about $12, you can get a ready made, correct length and color coded with terminals with fresh modern insulation to replace your dried out, cracked N-Tractor wiring harness. Something to think about. New ballast resistor $3 - 5, its not worth your time trying to out guess the previous owner, get a new one. You need a ballast resistor to keep from burning out your $35 front mount ignition coil. A switch is a switch, key operated or not, your choice..... .Dell
