I am using the delco, I had the wire from the 1 or 2 to the bat term on the alt, I had the wire from the other pin thru the lamp to the ignition.

Now the only way my tractor differs from the diagram is that I have an ignition key with an acc/off/on positions. I can not really tell which wires are hooked up to which on the inside. The wire that ran from somewhere on the ignition to the coil (via a ballast resistor) is the one I tied into for the small wire from the alternator. I followed the diagram I thought. I also have the lights still wired from the ignition key. I didn't want to change them if I did not have to. It still starts fine but not charging. The alternater was just hooked right to the battery with only one wire the pins were empty, that was not working so that is why I changed. This is very frustrating. I also get no lights but they test as hot.
My battery has some weak cells and needs replacing but it runs the tractor for a good 90 minutes so I have not replaced it yet, but it takes a charge from the plug-in charger so I did not think that was an issue.
As far as the lamp, it goes on when I turn the key so I thought that was right, but I can always change that to the resistor. Also I put in the voltmeter tied into that same line near the ignition, all with a wire nut, but it does not show any voltage. Should I take that out??
