A 10 gauge wire goes from the big output stud terminal to the load side of the amp gauge. From the other side of the amp gauge a 10 gauge wire should go to a 40 amp fuse link. From the fuse link a 10 gauge wire goes to the battery connection on the starter, or the battery side of the heavy current starter switch. (this leads directly to the battery positive post) From the #2 spade terminal on the edge of the alt, a 6" long 14 gauge wire is connected to the output stud. (this wire controls output voltage by sampling it at the source. From the #1 spade terminal, a 14 gauge wire attaches to one of three things: a diode with the marked end toward the alternator, or a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor, or a lightbulb type side marker lamp. Using one of these options prevents the alternator from keeping the engine running. The diod, resistor, or lamp other terminal is then connected to the ignition so that it gets 12v power only when the ignition is on. (if a ignition resistor is used, it should be on the ignition switch side of that resistor, not the coil side.) If the diode is chosen, it can be found in an old alternator, or from an on line source. it should be able to handle 4 amps, with a 250 PIV rating. Common commodity device. If a marker lamp is chosen make sure that it is not grounded, the connections are through it, not to ground. Good luck, it is not hard. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
