Yes you can. Realize that my answer depends on your capability and understanding of electrical issues. With respect, there is serious danger of fire and smoke if wiring is not correct. If the existing has a non standard component (relay switch) which is not a normal part of the tractor, you must decide if the switch is also bad. If the tractor is 6 volt generator based and positive ground, and if the reason that you are intending to do this is because the amp meter is open (does not conduct electricity) And the tractor is not suffering meltdowns in the wiring, just the amp meter is bad, just jump between the amp meter posts with a #10 piece of copper wire (bare is OK) This should just duplicate the current flow to the battery and be fine. This assumes the Relay switch is good. Do not short the jumper wire to the amp meter mounting bracket. If the tractor is Alternator equipped 12v. negative ground, the same jumper might be just fine. If the lights must work while you are waiting for parts, the supply wire to the lights switch should go through a fuse (15amp) then to the battery side of the existing amp gauge. A new wire to provide power to the ignition coil (assumes points and coil ignition, not Magneto.) can be attached to that same supply side amp meter post run through a toggle switch, then to the coil (or ballast resistor if so equipped) If you feel there is an issue with other components in the electrical system, all suggestions are void. Unless you are confident in the ways of electrons, 500 amps will make a mess. Jim
