Farmall B alternator and ammeter

I read the info John T posted for me below. If he or anyone else should read this thread I just want to clarify/summarize some of what I understood. Remember guys, I am about as sharp as the business end of a light bulb when it comes to some of this stuff! First, I need to move the ignition switch wire from the starter side of the ammeter to the alternator side. Next, the plug in the alternator has one wire that goes to the stud on the back of the alternator. I stuck my nose in there and the other wire has been cut off at the plug. Looking back at the day I bought this tractor, I can see that I had a couple of fast ones pulled on me. SO, I need to replace that plug with one that has two wires and the missing wire will run to the hot side of my on/off switch. I will need to solder into that wire the mentioned resistor and also the below mentioned diode. Sound about right? I'll look at Radio Shack for the electronic stuff and hit the auto parts store for the wire harness if that sounds right. Then I will see how much damage I can do. I have not verified that it is a GM 10 SI etc etc alternator, but will look for a plate on it in the AM. Pull hard on the reins if I have it wrong! Thanks guys!
