Default Re: Model A Ford generator

Brent's advice is right on the money but I would like to add a bit of advice if you do have to buy a cutout with a diode. Buy it from a Model A Ford parts dealer and not from a flea market casual vendor. Why do I say that? It is because current goes thru a diode only one way. The Model A is positive ground. The Model T is negative ground, so the diode cutout for the A will not work on a T and the T diode cutout will not work on the A. A casual flea market seller may not know which one he is selling as they look alike.
