A few years ago, some kind of short in my tractor (72 Ford 4000 diesel) caused the battery to melt down and burn up the whole engine compartment. I replaced all the fuel lines and have it running again with the battery going straight to the starter through a toggle switch. I've purchased an alternator, but it did not come with a wiring harness. The voltage regulator is all burned up. I've also purchased a new set of gauges for it as the old ones were burned/melted. I have a couple of questions around hooking up the alternator and gauges.
1. Is a separate voltage regulator required when your alternator already has one?
2. Does anyone have a schematic of how to run new wires with and/or without a separate regulator? I have a couple of service manuals, but neither cover electrical connections.
3. Does anyone have documentation of how all the sensors should be connected to the gauges?
Thanks!
