I have an IH 504D. I am wanting to change it over to an alternator. I would like to use the 1 wire alternator.I need to know how to wire it up.

Ultimately you may be happier with a standard 3 wire 10-si ... which really only requires 2 wire going from alternator. The thing about one wires is they have to have fairly high RPMs to get going and then they're fine. For a regular 3 wire the wiring is hot post to +battery or solenoid where +battery connects. #2 lead to hot post, just a jumper. And #1 to basically any key switched circuit.

Lots of posts on this subject. Been awhile since I wired my alternator, may have #1 and #2 backwards above.

I concur. A one-wire alternator may or may not work well in this installation. Yes CityBoy, you have the wiring correct. And since this is a diesel, there would be no need for a diode or indicator lamp.

Yes of course if it has an Amp meter I forgot that it might have one of them. I guess old age is getting to me lol
