Battery Disconnect Switch

[Oldgearz]

As a follow-up, I've installed an additional ground to the transmission housing which many people suggest. Seems like I would need to have two cut-off switches if I put the switch on the positive (ground) circuit. Do the benefits of the two ground straps from the positive battery terminal outweigh the benefit of putting the cut-off switch on the ground circuit???

I guess it depends on how you wired it up, but on mine, the additional cable connects to the bolt on the chassis that the ground strap goes to. So to install a cutoff switch, you would remove the strap from the chassis to the battery, and instead run a wire from the chassis to the switch and then a wire from the switch to the battery.

They make a longer ground strap with additional holes. They really help.

I got it at the local Farm and Fleet. Any store catering to farms should have one.

Now that's a ground strap. Where did you purchase it. Do you have a part number?
