What's This Receptacle For?
While putting the winter grill cover on my M35A2, I noticed a small receptacle by the right headlight. Facing the truck, it is above & to the right of the headlight. It has a spring-loaded cover & a single wire going directly to the battery +terminal.
What's it for?
I know, somebody's going to respond with that "worthless without pictures" thing. That would mean I would have to take the grill cover back off, find the camera, find some batteries, take a picture, find the cord that hooks the camera to the computer, & then interrupt my wife while she's cutting firewood so she can download, etc. No way!

RE: What
I would think it was a quick connect battery charger. Lots of FDs have these on their trucks.

What gauge wire? If it's skinny, then it's probably like Kenny says, for a charger, if it's heavy it's providing power for something.

I think I have seen something in the TM about that receptacle for using the swingfire heater to preheat the engine compartment.

Swingfire heater? When I got the truck from Minnesota, the guy told me about a heater that connected to the large pipe below the right headlight, to warm the engine, batteries, etc. The receptacle would be a logical place to power it from I suppose. Never seen the heater.
And yes Stretch, my wife cuts firewood, & runs the bush hog, & mows the grass, & OH OH! I better get some coffee & go outside! She's running the log splitter & I need to make sure she's stacking the wood properly.........
