| Just installed a new voltage regulator on my D17. It is set up for negative ground, how do I polarize it? Thanks. |

Without the Tractor running, take a jumper wire, go from BAT to GEN. It will spark. Perfectly normal. After that fire up the Tractor... Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

| So you converted your tractor to a alternator correct? Would the procedure be the same for a generator with positive ground? Thanks. Ryan |

I thought one polarized a generator, but not a regulator. I definitely plead electrical ignorance, but what part of a regulator requires re-polarization? |

 Thanks Steve it has been too many years since I have done this.
