This is the diagram I used. I ran all wires as shown other then the #2 off the alternator running to the warning light and then the warning light to the switch.
I assumed the warning light was there so you would know when it is chrageing and when it is not like a BATT warning light in a car. So i assumed that it didn't matter i just wouldn't know whether it was chargeing or not with out the ammeter or a voltage tester. If my assumption was incorrect and it does in fact need a light there to complete the circuit i will install one, but if it will operate with out one id rather leave it off as I done see the need since the ammeter will tell me what voltage the tractor is getting.
Just let me know one way or the other, I'm sure i can pull a 12v light housing out of some scraped car or part tractor we have laying around to make one.
EDIT: SO i goggled it after posting this and it seems i need to either put the light on or add a resistor but the wire has to be run back to the switch one of those ways. If that is what you where trying to tell me in your previous post I am sorry i did not understand it.
If i go the resistor route what kind do i need, i have ALOT of old computer parts laying around i could rob one off of if any of those would work.
EDIT AGAIN: After goggling some more and then rereading Jim's post i see that he already answered these questions i just didn't understand what he was saying at the time. Thank you very much Jim.
