[AT] "After Tractor is running" questions.

[Mike Sloane]

You might be thinking about the very early models, Charlie. They had a 
three position switch (Dim, Bright, and Charge). The latter position 
bypassed the cutout and put the generator into full charge operation. 
But Ben's Super A has a typical voltage regulator and doesn't need the 
third position. (Some switches had another position for the rear red 
light vs. the field white light.)

I am not familiar with any IH OEM light switch that pulled out, all of 
them that I have seen are rotary. But that's only my experience with my 
tractors from 1948-62.
