Sorry I dont have any Ford diagrams but using the one shown the ammeter only registers the alternator?????????? Im more interested in knowing the net current flowing into the battery (charging) or the net current flowing out of the battery (discharging)......
To do that (like about alllllllllll tractors Ive ever seen) the ammeters + SUPPLY effectively wires to the hot ungrounded battery post, usually by a wire to where the big ungrounded battery cable attaches to a starter switch or solenoid........while its other - LOAD terminal feeds/wires to:
(A) All loads like lights and ignition via a wire to the switches BAT INPUT TERMINAL
(B) The output of an alternator or generator
i.e. Only one feed to the HOT SUPPLY TERMINAL while alllllllll loads (lights and ignition) PLUS the output of the genny or alternator is on the ammeters other LOAD TERMINAL
I want to know if theres net charging current flowing INTO the battery (charging per the ammeter) or net current flowing OUT OF the battery (discharging per the ammeter). Thats just how about alllllllll old cars n trucks n tractors Ive worked on have been wired and the only method to give an accurate indication of how much charging or discharging current is flowing to/from the battery. But hey its your tractor so feel free to wire it as you please.
