A few weeks back I tested the waters here regarding replacing the stock cut out on the generator of my 1949 C with a regulator and, based on the feedback, I opted to do that. I had a very reputable local auto-electric outfit (that's been around longer than me) rebuild the generator and install the correct regulator. Now for the confusion. A bigger aftermarket tractor supply I've been doing business with sells a "cut out to regulator conversion kit", which amounts to a resistor mounted on the F terminal of the regulator that leads to the F terminal of the generator. The remaining instructions are to run a line from the GEN terminal on the regulator to the A terminal on the generator. The L terminal on the regulator goes to the BAT hook up on the light switch, and the BAT terminal on the regulator goes to the ammeter. The stock following are discarded; F line off generator to the feild resisitor on the light switch and the lead that (originating at the BAT lead on the cut out) from the ammeter to the light switch. (God bless all you guys that can follow that.) Anyway, my auto electric guy says the resistor kit is unnecessary and to just hook the old wires as was to the BAT & L terminals on the regulator. Thinking the tractor outfit has more experience in these types of applications, I bought the kit. Question is, is this resistor indeed necessary and why, and is the remaining wiring as I've described ok? Before I apply the juice, I really would love to hear from you in the know. Thanks for your help.

Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market. Since this can be extremely difficult, you may want to fabricate the item or purchase a modern replacement temporarily, but eventually, you s
