But wasn't it an option you could get from John Deere?
Surely they would never have sent one down the road in something that was dangerous.

420c Do I need a coil resistor?

I have a 12v coil without a internal resistor that I want to use on my 420. what are the specs if I need one for a resistor or resistor wire and where would I put it in the circuit?

you might want to keep your eyes out for a surplus Cable reel trailer. I got my hands on one and it make a perfect logging arch for my 420. plus the fact that it has a built in Hydraulic lift in is a bonus.
