Al W said: (quoted from post at 09:47:55 02/27/09) I checked the wiring on alt. One wire going from bat. post on alt to #2 terminal on alt. Another wire on bat. post on alt goes to oil pressure sending unit then from oil pressure sending unit to #1 terminal on alt. Bigger wire from bat. post on alt. to harness . I've been reading on some 6-12volt conversions on this site and it seems I need a diode.This is my question.If I run a wire from + terminal on coil to #1 terminal on alt. with a 1n4004 diode in it which way do I want the current to flow? To the alt. or to the coil. Can I put a switch in this wire until I get the diode? Thankyou for your time and help. Al
Al, perhaps you had an earlier post that I missed, but are you having some kind of malfunction? Or did you just read that maybe you need a diode?
Without further info, I assume that there is no malfunction. If that is the case, then I expect that you do not need a diode and the the item you ID as oil pressure sending unit is actually an oil pressure switch AND the it turns off alternator excite current when there is no oil pressure. If there is a problem & it keeps on running when you try to kill it, then you need to add the diode (band toward alternator) in the #1 (excite) line. Yes, a switch is an OK temporary measure, or just un-plug the connector in alternator at end of use for the day. I only answered you because no one had for several hours & maybe someone with a 340 can/will be more specific.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Fair Weather Tractor - by Dave M.. No, Fair Weather isn't some rare brand. It's the kind you can't leave out in the rain. Here's how it happened. I had been casually looking for a tractor for weeks. I saw a few 9N's, but they had even fewer amenities than the 8N my Grandpa bought new in '52 with a Dearborn loader. That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything. It was the only
