Purchased this tractor with alternator -2 wires - Trying to follow wiring diagram for instrument panel - here is what's going on- -former owner had sub wired kill switch since main switch would not work in ignition mode reconnected switch to test -worked, but the battery goes dead -must be internal short in switch -bought new switch -found bare spots on original battery cable that are green and touching steel sheath -have removed and getting new cables -wiring arrived here as follows- 1.- starter wire to resistor -good 2.- other side of resistor - green wire to positive terminal on coil - second wire to fuel gauge 3.- alternator -yellow wire from bolt on alternator to ampmeter -jumper wire from bolt on alternator to spade connector on side of alternator-voltage regulator?-red wire coming off of spade beside jumper wire to battery screw on ignition switch 4.- brown wire from ignition terminal on switch to positive terminal on coil 5.- negative terminal on coil wired to terminal on distributor -no other wire on terminal 6.- The switch I purchased is the same as the one that was on the tractor -there is no MAG terminal for wire from switch to positive terminal on coil -as per what the manual says ---the other wires appear to be as per manual I am figuring the former owner had the tractor set up negative ground --that is how it was when I purchased it - I will keep the alternator for now as the tractor charges good(as per ampmeter)
