I have a 53 Farmall Super H that is wired with separate power wires to the ignition switch and to the light switch. Never been a problem wired this way but recently had another operator leave the lights on during the day and none of us noticed it. This is the 2nd time I've had this happen resulting in a dead battery.
Tractor has original lights in addition to a trailer wiring harness. My 24' hay ride trailer has 3 running lights on each side and 2 tail lights on each side in the back. Total of 10 bulbs. Not LED's
Tractor is 12v with an alternator.
Ignition switch is original and correct for this tractor.
Light switch is after market but I finally broke down an bought a new 12v OEM switch to be installed soon.
I want to rewire so all power goes through the ignition switch.
The questions are:
Will the ignition switch handle the amperage required to run the lights?
Will the new OEM light switch handle the amperage of all those bulbs?
