I noticed this website is pushing their wiring harnesses to upgrade charging systems in "classic" vehicles. I can understand why they are biased towards a 3-wire in an existing harness.
Congrats on the diode on your 340. I hope it works out. I know how dealing with these old tractors and their wiring harnesses.
I had a mangled and burnt wiring harness on my 504. I gutted ALL WIRES and started over. A 1-wire is perfect for a custom made wiring harness. All connections are crimped, soldered, and heat shrink tube installed. It takes a little more time, but worth it. I also use silicone grease on all terminals to minimize corrosion.
I made my own harness for the dash gauges and installed a ATO size fuse block with 6 circuits. I have auxilliary lighting on my loader and have them wired to relays switched by the original light switch. In total I have almost 300 watts of lights. 2-55W high mounted side lights, 2-55W front lights, 2-35W OEM headlights and 1-35W OEM rear light. I have a 63A or 80A alternator charging a group 31 battery. This is also a diesel, so my electrical is stricly starting, charging, and lights/instrumentation.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
