Robert, In addition to what KS told you, what I refer to as an ammeters battery SUPPLY side terminal has but ONE wire, and thats to the hot ungrounded battery post, often via a wire to where the big battery cables attaches to a starter switch. The ammeters other LOAD terminal is what feeds loads like lights and ignition PLUS wires to the BAT terminal on a Cutout Relay or a Voltage Regulator, so it may have 2 or more wires. Nowwwwwwwww, if say an ammeter were originally configured for Positive ground and the tractor got switched to Negative ground, the ammeter leads need to be reversed otherwise it will register bass ackwards. Just get it wired so if the lights are switched on NOT running she swings to - discharge and then running it swings over to + charge. BUTTTTT have the lights and ignition loads wired on the same ammeter terminal the BAT terminal on a relay or VR is wired also. John T
