OK another day and no luck. Put new voltmeter in on a separate line grounded to a steel plate. The lamp lights when the key is o0n but no charge. Tractor would not start so I thought the battery was dead, jumped it and it ran well. So switched the ammeter wires which is no easy task and tracter starts on a dime, but no reading on the voltmeter. The alternator was not charging. An independent handheld voltmeter shows only 12 volts on the system. So unhooked the alt and brought it to be tested. Tested just fine, man in auto store says pin 1 or 2 must be grounded, instead on run back to bat term on alt. So grounded it and still starts but does not charge. Also lights not working but testing as if there is power in the lines. Very confused because I followed all the directions in the diagram referred to on this site. Before I started the key was wired to the battery, I moved that wire(which has a in-line fuse for some reason) to the ammeter as directed along with the line from the starter. The coil, the voltmeter and the wire from the alt)small pin 1 are tied together with a wire nut and are attached to the keyed side of the ignition. THe lights I did not change, the are wired from the switch to the ignition and thru a fuse. This varies from the schematic but it is hard to reach these wires. Any suggestions. This is much harder than wiring a house. I appreciate any help. I hope someone reads 3 pages back

Let's take a closer look, now, at the cooling system since it has to work so hard in the summer heat. Cooling systems can be real cantankerous in their old age. Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
