I thought I had posted this last night, but can not find it for some reason... I had read the article about 12-volt conversions (link below) on ytmag.com and thought it was great. I’m working on a John Deere B 1941. When I got the tractor, it did not have a generator on it. So, I took and went to AutoZone and got a Delco-Remsy Alterntor. A 10SI with 3-wire. I also got one of those little pigtails for the alternator. The pigtail has a White wire on the 1st pin, and a Red wire on the 2nd pin. I ran the Red wire over to the battery post on the alternator, then ran that wire to the amp meter then over to the battery. My Question… I have a magneto on the tractor. The tractor has this ignition key that was used to enable the generator to charge the battery. I don’t want to put a warning light on the tractor like the article says. Is it possible to take and run the white wire directly over to the battery post? Or how about running it up to the key and then over to the amp meter? Like the drawing in the article shows? Or, can I just let the wire hang? Thanks Tim Shanks

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
