Electrical Rewire

Here's what happens when you let an Electrical Engineer rewire your tractor! Junction box was made up from an old regulator and just like the regulator is shock mounted with a modified cover to fit. Each wire has crimped and soldered connectors and there is a dedicated ground for each circuit terminating at the - battery terminal to avoid ground loops. Why you might ask??? The next picture shows the back of the dash panel and the resistor arrays. This tractor can support both 6V and 12V coils by simply throwing a switch and has the correct ballast resistors for both. Alternator P1 terminal also has correct diode to protect it and the main + 12 volt line to the light switch has a 15 amp inline mini ATC fuse for protection.

Also removed useless Ammeter and replaced with much more useful Voltmeter so I can actually SEE if the alternator is charging! Guages are also now lit so they can actually be seen at night along with the new lights that were installed and the toggle switches and keyswitch are also lit so they can be easily found at night.

Ok. So maybe we DID go a little overboard but the tractor DID start as soon as the starter button was hit.

Here's picture 2

Yep, I DO have a hand drawn wiring diagram but I'm working up a better one in Photoshop to add to my tractor manual. Here's the one I used to wire it! There's only two pieces of heat shrink in the whole harness and it's at the very front where the two wire feed for the front lights gets split into two pairs for the lights.
