Have purchased a mid 60,s Towmotor brand lift truck, in good overall condition, except for 1 area. All the wiring has been removed and I need to re-wire the basics, including ignition, starter circuit, etc. It has an alternator, gm starter and the motor is a 345 cu. in. International. Can any one offer any help as I can repair if I can obtain a basic schematic or sketch of wiring. Thanks. Dean

dean, i dont know the tow motor, but basic wiring in not that hard. should be the same as any 1965 model car, truck or tractor. i can send you the basices if you dont find it elsewhere.--- few questions, does the alternator have an external voltage regulator, or the newer internal version? i assume you have a distributor and coil for ignition? is the system 12 volts? do you have an ignition key or just a on -off toggle, and a starter button?

Steve, it is a 12 volt system, alternator has internal regulator, and I will put a key switch on unit. Any help is greatly appreciated. Dean

for the starting circuit--- you need a ignition switch, starter solenoid, and a starter. you take a small 12 volt wire off the key, run to the solenoid and ground the other side. when the solenoid is energised, it connects two large lug (screw) terminals. one is a 4 gauge wire from the + battery, the other lug is a 4 gauge wire to the starter.----- for the ingition circuit, you need an ignition switch, coil, and distributor with point. the key puts 12 volts to the + side of the coil, and the - side of the coil goes to the distributor point.----- for the charge circuit, you need the alternator with internal voltage regulator, and a 10 ohm resistor, and ignitions switch. the big 1/4 inch threaded lug on the alternator goes to the battery + terminal, you have two small spade terminals #1 aand #2 on the side of alternator. #2 is 12 volts all the time. it can be connected to the ampmeter, or the 1/4 inch lug on the altertnator to get its power. the #1 terminal is hot only when running. you get 12 volts from the key switch, run thru the 10 ohm resistor, and connect to the #1 terminal. the resistor drops the voltage slightly and makes the alternator charge better.
