There is no 'simple' way to explain all the components but the hookup is fairly easy.
The system is made up of four basic circuits.
1) The charging circuit made up of a generator/alternator, an ampmeter and a battery.
2)The starting circuit made up of the battery and starter and some type switch to activate the starter motor.
3) The ignition circuit made of the distributer, coil, a switch (to open and close the circuit to battery) and the battery.
4) A light circuit(if equipped) made of the battery, the lights and a switch to close or open the circuit.
The trick is to find the common point for all these circuits. This CAN be a terminal post but most usually one of the ammeter posts.
You can find the common point by following the large lead from the Gen./Alt to the ampmeter and then following any leads you find there(on both sides). An example: On the opposite ampmeter post another large lead will go somewhere and make a connection, directly or indirectly to a battery post. The other circuits will branch off the ampmeter in some way.
Break you trouble to the appropriate circuit so you don't fight the whole system at once.
There is a fellow, BobM, that has a site with some very good pictorals of all the farmall electrical systems. Locate one of his posts i/c/w electrics and he'll usually give the URL for his site.
