[AJD] Late Three Brush Generator Specifics Found.

[Duane Larson]

Paul,
No, as long as the generator is adequately charging your battery.  I am
running a couple of tractors with cutouts and have for years.  You have some
control over the charge rate by the position of the light switch, which
engages the resistor we have spoken about when max charge is not needed.
Regards,
Duane
