He of the incredibly simple and useful Farmall wiring diagram. I used his 12v H/M conversion diagram to wire up a beat up old 1942 GMC Army truck being used for a woods truck (known locally as a "skipjack".) Original stovebolt six, converted to an alternator. Been sitting for a while, plus owned by a succession of owners who's only interest was to keep it running by whatever farmer-fix they had in their junk box. Alternator held on by rope (no, not kidding), resistor just hanging from the wiring, wires run through unprotected holes in the firewall, bare wires, wirenut splices, piggyback splices, about 14 miles of cheap electrical tape, bits of coat hangars (really!) every jury rig you can imagine.
Tore it all out, mounted the alternator properly, installed an ammeter, rewired it and it popped off in about 3 revolutions. Owner is a happy guy!
