Has a 12 volt conversion. Does it need a ballist resistor if it has 12 volt coil?

Ill have to find out. It is not my tractor. Im sure he has a car or truck ballist resistor now!! Going to lend a hand Sunday and see if we can start it...

Dell's explanation to me just a few days ago.
Tom..... ...I can't exactly answer yer coil question. The early 12-volt coils 1997? were "touted" as being 12-volt coils and it became very evident within about 6-mos that they were MELTING because the 12-volt alternators were pumping out 14.7 volts and OVER CURRENT the internal coil resistance. They started inculding a little piece of toilet paper that said to add a 0.47-ohm resistor to LIMIT the coil current. ONLY electornic engineers like me, know how and where to get 0.47-ohm resistors. NOT from TRACTOR stores or autoparts stores; Industrial Electronic stores. I devised my "trick resistor" from generally available RatShak resistors. Two 1.0-ohm 10-watt resistors in parallel turn into 0.5-ohm 20-watt resistor. Its the LAW! And the difference between 0.47-ohm and 0.5-ohm is???? not much.

So do you have the early 12-volt coil (about 3.5-ohms) that need my "trick resistor" or do you have the later 12-volt coil (about 2.5-ohms) that needs the OEM "infamous ballast resistor". I haven't gotta clue. You will haffta ohm-meter it yerself. BTW The OEM 6-volt coil is about 1.2-ohms. Exact values need LAB grade test meters. Close'enuff is good'enuff.

I hope I answered your questions..... ....respectfully, Dell (WA)
