WD light switch

I'm hooking up 2 front lights and 1 rear light to my 1954 WD. There are 4 posts to wire to on the switch and 3 positions on the switch: first position, 2 of the 4 posts are off; middle position, all posts are hot; all the way out position, the first post is off, the other 3 are on (at least this is what I remember from yesterday). Can I assume that I can wire the rear light to the first post (since I don't want this on everytime I need lights) and the front lights to the other post that shuts off? Maybe if someone has a diagram of wiring at the switch, that would be helpful. I don't want to screw up the electrical system.

Thanks for the help.

All of the lights should come on at once. The 'lights on' position is the middle position. Push the switch all the way in and the battery is charged at the low rate. Pull the switch all the way out and the battery is charged at the high rate- good for low battery, occasional tractor use, or the morning after late night work with lights on.

Tim,
If ya look real close at the switch by the screws you should be able to make out some letters.
"H" "R" & "S". The headlights and tailamp share the same terminal. It's the "S" up front in front of the fuse tower.Hope this helps.... Steve B.
