Battery/ charging question

Hello all,

Thank god no timing or carb question this time LOL. This time its something different, a while back I needed a wiring diagram to get the loader running and mr Bob was nice enough to draw me up something and it worked like a charm. Now with the machine running great I was thinking of testing my electrical skill a little deeper and ad some gauges maybe lights and so forth however, Bob only drew me a diagram to get the machine started basically battery, magneto, kill switch, keyed ignition. so the question is on an older skid loader like this what exactly recharges the battery and how can I introduce this into what I have installed now? I have a small bunch of wires kind of stuffed behind the magneto seem to go deep inside the engine somewhere, could this be an easy thing to add so if I do add lights I don"t kill the battery, would be nice to recharge as I go, but if its a pain to do this or figure out I wont do it at all, just fishing for thoughts?
 
and oh, I do have a manual with wiring diagram however, it does not cover a magneto set up it shows a coil, kind of strange but true that's why Bob had to make it real simple for me. Not to mention this is a hybrid machine not sure what the motor came out of most people think a hay bailer or something. motor- Wisconsin vh4d and machine IH skid loader 3200 B
 
Since you mention a nest of wires coming out from under the flywheel, it apparently has the under-flywheel alternator, which (IIRC) typically used two electronic boxes... a rectifier and a voltage regulator.

Below is a link some diagrams that MAY be of help. Bottom link is, the whole wiring snarl ends up at the regulator, and only ONE charging wire leaves the engine area, to go to the battery, through the ammeter (if so equipped).
