This one should be right up John T's alley:
On my Dad's W-400, we converted it to 12V with a Delco 10SI alternator.
Rather than run new wires, I connected the original GEN wire to the BAT terminal on the alternator. At the regulator, I moved the GEN wire over to the BAT terminal. I took my excite wire off the coil, using a diode. The F terminal wire is taped off up at the alternator. This leaves everything unmolested and easily restored to original.
The setup works great, for a while. Twice now, the alternator regulators have failed causing the alternator to go to full charge. I just put a THIRD alternator on this tractor, and it's working as expected again, for now.
Looking at the internal schematic of a voltage regulator, the L and BAT terminals are directly connected, so I'm using the regulator as a bus bar.
This could just be bad luck. The first two alternators I bought were the cheapest remans you could get from Advance Auto Parts. The alternator I put on this time is supposedly a better quality.

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
