Wardner, SORRY for the confusion! For those NOT completely rewiring their tractor, the "BATT" post on the OLD voltage regulator, remaining from the GENERATOR CAN BE used a a "terminal post" to join the output wire from the alternator to the electrical system on the tractor, to minmimize rewiring. The old voltage regulator, if left in place, and used as stated in the previous paragraph serves NO function other than as a "insulated terminal" to join the old wire to the ammeter AND the wire from the new alternator. I, myself, would connect the wires by other means, and tidy things up by removing the old regulator, but I HAVE seen a lot of conversions leaving the regulator in place, and using it as stated. OF course, a TOTAL rewire job, with new wires of the proper gauge is a LOT better idea! A (goofy) one-wire Delco alternator can be restored to it's ORIGINAL 3-wire configuration by carefully taking it apart, installing an "OEM-style" internal voltage regulator and diode trio. The brushes have to be put in place, and then pinned, so the alternator can be re-assembled, and then the pin is withdrwawn, allowing the brushes to snap down into place, on the "slip rings". I HOPE this makes things more clear! BobM's diagrams for alternator conversions show 3-wire systems, using an "idiot light", which, as I said works equally well as the diode or resistor.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
