Circuit Protection Kit For Two-Cylinder Diesel Tractors
Agri-Services, 13899 North Road, Alden, N.Y. 14004 (ph 716 937-6618; www.wiringharnesses.com): Agri-Services has developed a new circuit protection kit for two-cylinder diesel tractors, in order to prevent damage to the wiring harness and electrical components in case of a short circuit. A short in the 24-volt system, or either 12-volt system, can destroy the wiring harness before one can react to the smoke and disconnect the batteries.
  Some of the possible short circuit scenarios include: allowing a tool to come in contact with exposed terminals, starter solenoid malfunction, a wire rubbing through the insulation, rodent damage to the wiring harness, wrong polarity of the generator, or voltage regulator malfunction. Deere recognized the need to offer a similar kit for the 24-volt New Generation diesels to prevent tractor fires and harness damage, but there have been no kits for two cylinder applications until now.
  The kit protects both 12-volt legs of the 24-volt system and also the 12-volt ground circuit in the battery box. The kit includes two Type II circuit breakers (which will not reset until the power is shut off), an in-line fuse lead, mounting bracket, leads and instructions.
