MW, If you have 14v at the battery terminals you have a properly charging alternator no matter what the ammeter says. There is no possible way to get 14v there otherwise!! You just need to work out the ammeter connections or replace it as suggested by Hugh. Make sure your alt is not still hot when the ignition is off. If you don't have a switch or some kind of resistance between the R1 or 1 spade and your 12v source it will discharge the battery when off. With the switch off there is an easy way to check this out. Remove one battery cable, hold it close to the battery post and watch for a small spark. If there is any spark you have the alt hooked up wrong and it will drain the battery in a few days. Even better is to hook your digital VOM between the post and cable, it will show the slightest current flow. By a two wire Delco I assume you mean two spade connectors at the plug position plus the large battery connector? I call this a three wire but I may be wrong. Sorry I'm not familiar with the Bob Melville hookup.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
