Electrical seminar at New York Two Cylinder Expo XIII

I have offered to present a seminar on tractor electrical systems at Expo XIII, July 13,14,15 of this year. The actual day and time slot have not been determined yet. Typically my talks steer away from theory, and deal with practical ways to find and solve problems.

I have chosen not to be a vendor at Expo XIII, as the task of getting prepared, setting up the location, taking down, and unpacking has grown to be too large.

I will post further updates as to date and time as they are determined.

I look forward to visiting with anyone from this forum.

What are you suggesting ?
We could refer to the 24V positive ground discussion ?

Sounds like fun Jim, if you remember I gave Ignition and Charging and Wico Mag Seminars there 2 or 3 years in a row some years back, we had a good crowd and it was fun. I haven't been that way in a long time, maybe I will get up there again. Be sure they get your session on the schedule and signs around the grounds so people know the time and place. I also attended B & D's 24 Volt seminar which was informative...

Sorry if you see a repeat posting.
I did not see my original post when I was looking at your reply, so I re-posted it. When I went back to the forum, my new post was not there, but my original post was.

I think that this will be a general discussion, mostly drawing on the multitude of calls that I get every day. Many start out with: "I bought a harness from you, and now xxxx does not work". Another popular inquiry is: "I want to replace the generator with an alternator". Sometimes the call will include: "I know that Grandpa bought this tractor in 194x, and I know that he did not change anything".

There will be some discussion on polarizing generators, 1 wire alternators, ignitions and 24 volt systems.

B&D, if you recall, after your seminar was completed, we discovered that the "GEN" lamp resistor that was mounted on your new light switch had too much resistance to allow the lamp to glow. I have since checked new switches from Steiner and JD, and found that for some reason, the current resistors have double the resistance of the original resistors. The OEM and aftermarket switches match resistance. We have now been advising customers, that they may need to use a 6 volt bulb in the "GEN" lamp in place of the 12 volt bulb. I have also found that some of the Chinese bulbs vary widely in resistance.
In light of this, I am considering offering a resistance lead that would be installed on the light switch, in addition to the integral resistor.

I look forward to it Jim.
Hope to see you there too JohnT.
