Hi All, This is my first time posting here and I am looking for some help in where to start.
I bought a used Ford 200 Dexta diesel for a good price. It starts good, runs well and pulls and drives nice.
I was starting to see issues with having a charged battery and then after looking online for probable causes, thought it may be a voltage regulator.
To my surprise, I went out this morning to see what I could find, and there was no voltage regulator, but also no alternator or generator.
I saw some posts about an alternator upgrade, so may take that route, but I also found a lot of cut wires, so I'm wondering where to start as the tractor still runs and drives nice and I need it to cut the grass and level some ground on my new small acreage.
I know the gauges were all missing and would need work, so thought may be I'd do it all at once now that I have to go this deep into it. Pictures are attached to show you what I'm starting with.
Any advice on where to start, how to get a wiring diagram and parts would be greatly appreciated.
