I have a 12V 8n with a Delco 10-SI alternator 3 wire conversion and just noticed that the diode seems to be backwards - the silver band is pointing towards the
dashboard rather than the #1 alternator terminal like the diagrams shos it should.
It's been like this for at least 2 years, and never a trace of trouble. The tractor starts well and never a bit of trouble with the battery staying charged. Can anyone
electrical explain to me how this can be? I'm not sure if I should dare flip the diode now, since it seems to be working so well the way it is
