Yeah, they are great. I've got one in my tractor for the safety override switch problem, makes it nice to not have to try to get that fuse put in in the dark...
Ignition Fuse keeps blowing

I can see applications where they would be great and others were a CB resetting itself might be pretty dangerous. In some circuits were the load may be high only for a few seconds (like glowplug circuits) I'd think such a device would be fine. In a lighting or accessory circuit, I think I'd want to be able to have the safety of resetting the CB myself rather than take a chance on it's resetting and reopening over and over.
In the case of our starting circuits and their intermittent overloads, that auto-reset CB is perfect as long as I don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to reset. I'd hope it would reset in less than 30 seconds. If it doesn't, I'm probably going to be taking the cowling off to see what the problem is. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I had to replace a 7.5 fuse the other day and I haven't had time to check to see which one that was. I's the sencond from the right as your sitting on the tractor.
My lights would all come on and the engine heater would cycle for the 3-4 seconds, but the engine wouold not crank.
The fuse was blown, and I replaced it and haven't had a problem again yet.

The book actually calls for one of those fuses to be a CB ... don't recall which one ... tractor came with a fuse in that spot ....but when mine blew I checked the book and found the CB (as mentioned here first), went to the dealer to get said CB, told them it was suppose to be a CB IAW the book, but the parts catalog on their computer was a little vague about it - it was there - but you had to know what you were looking for. Girl on the keyboard was new. Haven't popped the CB yet, but I'm betting it will take a couple of minutes for it to cool down enough to reset.
