I moved this thread and changed the name by request of M-Man. Tis a good source of info, and should probably be noted by all!
I'd like Byron and any others opinion...should we pin this to the top?

Without a doubt, it should be pinned . . . good information for all.

Yep that definitely qualifies as a needle in a haystack.

I'm wondering if a "Technical Links" section would be an idea for things like this. We could post things like torque values for uncommon fasteners that people have found in FSB's and the like. Put an electrolysis link, maybe John T would post his long explanation and approach to electrical troubleshooting, how to set a governor, troubleshoot Powr-Lift/Powr-Trol, popular paint codes and mixing rates/hardeners, sort of all in one spot. But for now, at a minimum, I think that pinning it is a great idea.

Brandon;
Thank's for changing the title for me.
I really like Frank's idea of a technical section. Don't know how much trouble it would be, but I'm sure we could build a great technical library that would benefit us all.

One place/link/topic/pinned area where we can steer questioners would probably save some of us a ton of time as it seems many arent willing to ever run a seach to find an answer, they want it spoon fed. Thats why I got in the business of saving and copy paste generic answers because we get the same old questions over n over. The problem is those kind of canned responses get so long as I try to cover about everything including the kitchen sink that it may just confuse the questioner. Im glad to help, for yearssssssssss relatives and the type of gents found here helped me and I (gladly) figure its payback time, but its getting to sound like a broken record around here. Im not sure if Frank or I have been here longest, weve seen em come n weve seen em go lol

Ditto what Yall said!
A tech section would be an excellent idea.
One auto forum I use often for my wife's car is "Lincolns online Forum".
It goes into common problems and how to do, stuff, like change the electric window motor, or how to change brakes, etc...
It has tech articles with pictures and any special tools.
This has saved me a ton of time and money.
A good tech section for our tractors would be outstanding!
Let me know how I can help,
Frosty

I pinned it to the top, before I forget!
The idea of a tech section for this stuff sounds like a very good idea. If we end up with more material like this, it'd be a good place to store it all.
Thanks all.

All those diagrams should be updated. With a 10,15 or 20 amp fuse as required. Between the connection to the ammeter and the wire running to the battery.
The 12/24V split systems should be updated with a circuit breaker kit built by Jim at Agri-Services. I've seen the package, it's well built and and worth the investment.

Interesting... and confusing.
Yesterday, John R. posted on 'Hooking up the Generator,' and several responses mentioned the 'correct, 4 post regulator.' As my manual and B-3 here clearly shows, there are only three posts on the regulator in the manual. I can't find any illustrations depicting a 4 post regulator.
What am I missing - as I'm within a week or so of firing my styled B???

I don't think it clearly shows it at all. Look closely....the diagram shows a 4 leg voltage regulator. One wire sneaks in form the side or from behind to attach to a fourth terminal that is located undetneath. Look atht e diagram from a three-leg VR like in a 50/60/70 to see the difference. These days, it is pretty common to order a VR and receive either a four leg or a three leg, which is why you need to know how to install them correctly, and hence, the discussion.

Ahhh...
...and I see in the text below the diagram, the point about connecting both wires to the BAT terminal if you have the substituted regulator...
thanks.
