Respectfully, I did mean resistor. Please remember, the alternator discharge indicator light (idiot light) is nothing more than a resistor that transforms the resulting voltage drop into light and heat while the regular resistor only gives off heat. So if the tractor doesn't have an indicator light, a resistor can be substituted as long as it has sufficient resistance (ohms) to prevent the alternator's diode trio from powering the coil after the ignition switch is opened, thereby allowing the engine to shutdown instead of running on. Of course, a properly rated diode performs the same function when a reverse bias causes a similar voltage drop. Our conceptual difference may be based on how our individual tractors have their electrical systems set up. Please have a good day and a better tomorrow.

Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
