Missed that conversation, guess it would be poor of me to ask you to repeat an engine stating story that got you yelled at the 1st time. :)
The nuetral wire is dead when the power switch is off. The hot wire is hot even with the switch off.
It's a while lot better for as little of the device to be powered by the hot wire as possible, so they came up with the polarized plug to try to make it so.
Now some fella comes along and grinds off the fatter spade and defeats the point of all that fancy wiring.....
Might as well use the ground wire interchangably for a neutral wire too..... ;) Hey, as long as it works, it must be right.....
I'm sure the 2 good electricians here agree with me???????
(All meant in lightheartedness.
1. It would be best if you don't grind off the fat blade - it is a safety feature that keeps you a tad safer by keeping less live power around your hands.
2. Of course neutral and ground wires should be kept seperate & isolated - they serve different purposes and you defeat the point of the ground wire if you bond them more than once.
3. It's real easy to make electricity work; it's real hard to make it work well and safely with backup safety built in when folks keep trying to defeat the safety stuff for some reason. Why does the fat blade bother a person?)

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
