FORD 600 12 Volt Conversion Kit HELP NEEDED. PLEASE...

Since you bought a conversion kit and you have very little (to NONE) electrical experience I can assume your plan is to wire the alternator as a 1 wire set up.
This may be your best bet for the time being so you can get it running. Later after you have more time and feel more confident you can come back and we can tell you how to add a few wires to make it a 3 wire set up. This set up works much better.

To answer your question..... .....
Yes you will need to change the wires on your coil. Negitive goes to the distribator and positive goes to the inline resistor and then to the key OR terminal block. Anywhere that has power only with the key on.

You can leave the amp gauge out for now if it does not work.

The wiring diagram I gave you uses a real 12v coil so you will need to add your resistor inline.

If your orginal wiring is shot just tear it out and start over using the diagram. If your original wiring is in good shape do not follow my diagram. Talk to a guy named "Soundguy" on this board. He can tell you how to wire the tractor using your original wires.

HERE IS MY QUESTION(s) finally, I know.... What do I do now. The tractor has been starting and running for about a week now, with NO problems. Is it discharging? Should I check voltmeter somehow before I start tractor (or before I installed it?) Should I try and see if my original AMMETER works (that shows -30....0....+30)? Please enlighten me wise one. Thanks.
