George,
Excellent idea, but 30 amps might be a tad small and trip out during a normal start-up with a low battery. I think I'll opt for the 40 amp CB, and by purely guessing, I think the wire harness is safe. We probably need to protect both ends of that #10, as the a short can occur anywhere between the dash and the alternator. If this short occurs (as with the customer's tractor), the wire softened became very floppy, melted the zip tie close to the alternator and then fell on the hot exhaust manifold. There is no way to stop that battery short without pulling or cutting a batt cable. But it will seriously burn your hand and fingers if you try to handle it without benefit of some tools.
I agree that this is a shortcoming of all N series tractors, and probably many others as well.
If the companies that make the aftermarket wire harnesses were to include a CB on this line from batt to alternator, it would save many tractors (and maybe some sheds) from this fierey death.
