I just received this reply from an electrical harness specialist:
You have a 63 amp alternator from Auto Zone.
It may be a self exciting version, but there is conflicting information on the internet.
You could call Auto Zone and ask if it is a 1 wire alternator.
If you un-plug the 2 wire white connector, and then start the tractor, it will charge the battery if it is self exciting.
A 12 volt conversion will also require a 12 volt coil and an external ignition resistor.
Can you send photos of the instrument panel showing the gauge connections and any other electrical connections?
Pricing:
$89 original engine harness
$20 additional for 63 amp alternator (you will require)
$15 additional if it requires an excitation circuit (you may require if it NOT a 1 wire version)

I'm thinking now that it may be simpler and I can be more certain of the outcome if I just buy a 12 Volt conversion kit and replace what I have. What do you all think? If I do this, should I choose the one-wire or the three-wire alternator? I really like SouNdguy's suggestion of placing a lamp instead of a diode inline with one of the wires however I think that will require a 3-wire alternator.[size=18:3cd406aadd][/size:3cd406aadd]

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
