Jim Becker's Idea is a good one. A big diode from an alternator trio can be scavenged and placed between the Bat and Arm terminals in place of the cutout relay mechanism. Just remove the internal components. and keep the terminals insulated from ground.
Use the diode hooked up so that a test light will not light when one end of the diode is hooked to the Negative ground, and the other lead (or mount) is touched with the light probe. You can do this at the battery negative post. Just switch ends if it lights up, and remember to attach it in the old housing so the ARM terminal is connected to the same end that did not light up the test lamp.
If your tractor has a 4 position light switch that is connected to the F terminal, it should work like normal. The F terminal on the cutout will still not be used. If the F terminal was used (going to the F terminal on the gen) and you are happy with the charge rate, do not destroy the resistor or connection to the F terminal on the old Cutout housing. Good luck, JimN

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!!
