Also need a decent original temp guage. I am working on a 1941 Oliver 60, and have read these didn't originally have voltage regulators, they used a cut out switch? Never seen or understood how these worked. The 1948 60 we had as a kid had a voltage regulator. Did this change later in production, or was it a retrofit? Does anyone have a pic of the early dash so I can see where everything is supposed to be? Thanks Corey [Reply]   [No Email]

The cutout box on the generator closes the circuit to the battery when charging and opens the circuit when not charging.   Not too long ago you could still buy new light switches from John Deere.
