As previously recommended from prior postings, I hooked the Gen light up to the 12v alternator's "s" terminal. Light on with key. Started tractor.....gen light stayed on with alternator not charging. Jumped between "S" and "IG" terminal, light went out with alternator charging as previously noted in posting. However, alternator quit charging and light went on as soon as jumper wire was removed.
I then tried to insert the 10ohm resister at the idiot light across the wires feeding the light. With resistor, light came on with key but very dim. Started tractor and light got brighter and alternator did not seem to be charging. Resistor did not seem to solve any issue.
So am I just forced to live with no working light with this Nippo alternator or would a different size resistor make any difference? If not, I may just leave the Nippo until failure and replace later with Delco (i.e. so gen light will function). Any further thoughts or am I out of luck??
