Thanks guys. The tractor gets pretty light use so it will likely be here till they carry me away feet first and after that, I really dont care what the new owner thinks of what I did to it. I just want it to be functional for ME.
It is converted to 12 volt, negative ground with a "modern" 1970s 10-SI alternator from a GM car so the "correct police" issue is an issue that is already done. Sure its correctable but not by me, I bought it this way and it will stay this way, I am not investing more to switch it back. I would like to switch the alternator out for a smaller import alternator so the hood fits nicer but knowing me, that wont be done till the current alternator fails.
So knowing I have a more modern alternator in a 12 volt system, is it still the recomendation to just stay with a ammeter? The explanation for a ammeter makes sence, I cant for the life of me find who or why it was recomended to go with a voltmeter. If an ammeter is still the better way, I will go with that because I can grab it off the shelf at tractor supply or similar and then I dont have to look for a voltmeter that fits the control box. I dont want to mount it anywhere but in the box, mostly for protection from the elements but some for appearence and for lazyness.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
