Default John Deere parts

I don't even like John Deere parts on my John Deere mowers. I've got 5 acres of turf runway and another 3 acres in my lot. I've got a D110, L118, Z425, and a 3235B. Not really impressed with any of them.

Wouldn't even think about putting those parts on my airplane.

Default voltage regulator

Hal;
I just bought a John Deere regulator as a 3rd string backup experiment.
if your stock RV-12 connector is in good shape, it will accept a standard 1/4" male spade connector, and the John Deere regulator will accept a standard 1/4" female spade connector. So, just make up a male-female connector jumper for each conductor (6 I believe) and it will work.

Is this the part number you're using: John Deere AM101406?

Being the lazy type that I am I hoping for connectors so I would not make a mistake when I needed to sub in the JD regulator.

Jim to each his own but the JD regulator is suppose to be a darn site better than the Ducati that is installed on my plane. I plan to use the JD as a back up for not if but when the Ducati fails.

I just removed the clips from the Ducati connector and plugged them into the JD regulator with some shrink tubing to hold the connectors in-place.

BTW, these regulators are in common use on VW and Corvair powered airplanes for years. Go buy another over-priced and poorly constructed Ducati regulator if you want.
