Thanks Guys for all your help on the Battery Cables.
I now have new 1 Ga cables. Positive goes to the starter frame mount bolt. (well cleaned) The negative goes to a remote mounted spring loaded typical Farmall starter switch. Mounted on the Diamond shaped bar below the throttle control. The other leg has a 1 Ga cable going to the starter. All Cleaned good connections. I will check continuity everywhere before I attempt to start but I am pretty sure there are no issues with the new battery cables.
Now I need help with the wiring schematic and making sense of the wiring that is currently in place..... I have a mix of the old farmall 4 position light switch and new regulator with new generator. SO I am wondering if there is an issue here that is causing a direct short. I will try and describe it starting with the charging circuit.
So, negative on the battery goes to top post on starter switch which is shared by a wire that goes to 1 side of the ammeter. The other post on the ammeter goes to the BAT terminal on the regulator.Gen on the regulator goes to A on the Generator. I think this is right from what I can see from the diagram.
Now for the rest of it...... From the regulator, L terminal goes to the screw next to the top of the fuse which is on the back of the old 4 position light switch. That same screw is shared by a wire that runs to the ignition switch(or push/pull button kill switch, whichever you want to call it) The other post on the Ignition switch goes to the negative side of the coil. Than the Positive on the coil goes to the distributor.
I have no lights on the tractor and the ammeter needle moves when I move the 4 position switch. It is the wrong ammeter it is a-60 0 +60. I will change this out later. I rewired the whole thing with new wiring and got rid of all the splices and patches. any body see anything wrong? I am thinking of bypassing the old 4 position switch all together since I have no lights and the Regulator should do the job of the old charging positions on the light switch. What do you think?

Today's Featured Article - Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market. Since this can be extremely difficult, you may want to fabricate the item or purchase a modern replacement temporarily, but eventually, you s
