For Farmall AM and Super AM tractors, a Lucas generator and regulator with electric starting and lighting were standard, as was coil ignition. Because Australia tended to use Lucas electrical systems, warning lamps were standard. For farmers with earlier Farmall M tractors with magneto ignition, who wanted to add electric starting and lighting the warning lamp was just a nuisance, because it required a separate switch from the magneto grounding switch. Therefore, it was often not connected on magneto ignition machines or (as with my Farmall M) a magneto grounding switch fitted in its place. Not sure what I will do about this. I could fit a relay so that the warning lamp and magneto grounding work from one switch, but it could cause serious damage to various components if the relay failed and short circuited the generator and regulator to Earth through the magneto. Otherwise, I can just keep it the way it was fitted in the 1950s with no warning lamp at all.
