In cases where an alternator like the 3 wire GM 10 SI was fed its lil No 1 terminal excitation voltage from the coils high input (NOT to distributor) terminal or the ignition switches IGN output (same point electrically) even if the ignition is turned off its possible for the alternator to backfeed voltage to the coil and they can run on even after the ignition is turned off. One way to prevent that is to wire a diode (one way current flow check valve) in series from the coil or ignition switch to the alternators lil No. 1 excitation terminal. Assuming its Negative ground for the alternator, the diode MUST BE WIRED with its + anode to the coil/switch and its - cathode to the alternator. Its bigger then required but I use a 5 amp 50 PIV diode cuz the bigger leads are easier to wire. The diode allows current flow INTO the alternator to excite it but not OUT OF the alternator to power the ignition coil. I recommend a 10 ohm current limiting protection resistor in the excitation circuit whereby the diode may not even be required but if thats in place n she still runs on, then I add the diode. John T

Tractor Profile: Allis-Chalmers Model G - by Staff. The first Allis-Chalmers Model G was produced in 1948 in Gasden, Alabama, and was designed for vegetable gardeners, small farms and landscape businesses. It is a small compact tractor that came with a complete line of implements especially tailored for its unique design. It featured a rear-mounted Continental N62 four-cylinder engine with a 2-3/8 x 3-1/2 inch bore and stroke. The rear-mounted engine provided traction for the rear wheels while at the same time gave the tractor operator a gre
