Rick, thanks again for the feedback. I was looking at the wiring on the gen. and it is dirrerent than the picture you sent. In the picture the 2nd wire on top to the right jumps to the terminal on the back of gen. On mine 2 wires coming out, one goes to + terminal on the coil and the 2nd wire goes to ign switch as far as I can tell. I was trying to follow the wires to the inst panel, but didn't have much luck. The wires under the panel are welded togather from the short and couldn't follow them thru to the gages. I was just curious as to my wires on the alt. doesn,t run the same way. Didn't get much time on it today. I took the hood off so that I could get to the underside of inst panel. I did find a used tractor parts place that makes up wiring harness for old tractors in Fredericktown MO. They were asking $135, thats a lot cheaper than the $450 I was quoted earlier, but I can build it myself a lot cheaper. Larry
