Most Farmall C tractors came with a 3 position light switch: Off-O, Dim=D, Bright=B. Early C might have 4 position: L=low charge, H=High Charge, D=Dim, B=Bright. I am including a diagram from Bob M (diagram 2 or 3) There is also a trouble shooting process on the page. Either the cutout relay points are stuck together (either system has them, the regulator has cutout inside), or there is a short in the light switch. If three position, the light switch is really not in the charging circuit. If it was shorted, or if the lights are shorted and the switch is on D or B, it can get hot. There is a resistor for D lights that gets hot when on D to cause the lights to be dim. It is in series with the lights and gets way hot, but is not intended to make the switch knob hot. If a 4 position switch, it is connected to the charging system. The internal components of the switch are not electrically connected, the shaft od the switch rotates 2 different internal switches. One set of contacts controls the lights Dim and Bright. The other set controls charging, Low charge through a resistor to ground (in the switch to the switch body and from that to the switch box and from there to the steering post and thus chassis ground, High charge is direct to ground as before with no resistor. The grounding is used to control the field strength in the generator. The field gets its voltage from inside the generator (third brush or from the armature brush) and is grounded by the light Sw. The 3 position field circuit is controlled by the regulator, and is not connected to the light switch for control. The L terminal (if it has one) is connected to the Light switch to power the lights, it is an generator output wire not a generator control wire. I hope this helps. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
