The wiring on the old tractors was very basic and
simple, so don't be afraid of it.

If you want to keep it 12v, one thing you need to
look for is did everything get changed over from
6v to 12v like the coil and lights.

Also it may have been positive ground. The
alternator will require a negative ground system
and the ignition coil will need to have the +
terminal wired to the ign switch, and the -
terminal to the distributor lead.

The alternator wiring will depend on which
alternator was installed. Most common is a Delco
10SI. Here's a diagram:

A trip to a good auto supply with wiring supplies
will be helpful. The split plastic harness wraps
make for a neater job. Soldering and shrink tubing
provide a more trouble free result.

Might take a look at the alternator mount, see how
well everything lined up, the pulley is right for
the belt size, everything is tight, etc.

Hope everything works out, you can do this!
