LT-3 and LT-3 section of the LT-34 tractor. It provides

the necessary DC control power for the operation of

the equipment and the necessary circuitry for proper

inching, cold starting and arc striking.

In using the NL

Option Kit, a K775 remote field control is required and

is included as part of the kit. Installation instructions
are included with the NL Option Kit.
