If you wire the alternator per the diagram, an auxiliary diode is not required. For the warning light, any 12 volt bulb rated at about 200 milliamps will do. An auto instrument panel or side marker lamp bulb (#57, 168, 194, 1815, etc) works fine. A suitable lampholder can be purchased at Radio Shack or at a parts store. IMPORTANT! Make sure the lampholder is a 2-terminal (ungrounded) type! A grounded (single wire) lampholder will not work if it is grounded to the tractor. If the charging system is working properly the ammeter should show a slight (2 - 4 amps) charge with the motor running at speed and a fully charged battery. However with a fully charged battery, the the ammeter should indicate a charge of 30 amps or more immediately after starting, then taper off to 2 - 4 amps after running a minute or two.
