I am converting to 12V for a friend using a kit ....I am used to Farmalls and this is different so I have some questions.

This tractor has a low amp warning light but there is no wiring shown for this. Hot side of the terminal block to the amp light and back to the other side of the terminal block?

The solenoid has 2 posts in the middle but the wiring shows only one of the posts is used for the foot start button. Which one does it hook up to?

The diagram shows the coil being fed from the non-hot side of the terminal block? Makes sense, just confirming.

Thank you experts!

This tractor has a low amp warning light but there is no wiring shown for this. Hot side of the terminal block to the amp light and back to the other side of the terminal block? If the lamp is original to the tractor, one side to hot terminal, other side to #1 pin on Delco alternator. However, the warning lamp will not work with some one wire alternators.

The solenoid has 2 posts in the middle but the wiring shows only one of the posts is used for the foot start button. Which one does it hook up to? If solenoid was working before, one post may go to non hot side of terminal block and other side to start button.

Yes it is a 1 wire Alternator

It is a 1 wire so I don't know about the #1 pin on the alternator...and I would bet the bulb is a 6V.

Okay, good thing I took a pic of the solenoid hook up before I disconnected the wires.

Thanks
