[Farmall] Oliver Cletrac HG Question

[BIRDDOG]

In most cases, John, I do not think re-polarization would be necessary.  
The only time I have had to do it is with a new installation.  I have to 
be honest and state that when and why to polarize has always been a bit 
of a mystery to me.   I have never had a full understanding of the 
subject.
