730 diesel electric start wiring in ammeter

Is it just a 2 post ammeter or are there other posts or terminals on it?

If just a 2 post ammeter you can install it to read charging amps but not accessories loads,,, or accessories loads but not charging amps.. One is 12 volts & one is 24 volts so you can�t mix them at the ammeter..

Explain that ammeter a little more & what you want to measure & we can probably fix you right up..

You are correct in that there is (was) one though.. I do have a lot of Deere 2-cylinder wire schematics from the 2-cylinder era but not in one book though.. (stuff I have gleaned over the years)

One of the problems with the old Deere wire prints are ERRORS (lots of them).. In fact the Deere schematic for 960�s 730D here has an error in it..

Deere was also known for combining multiple years of tractors in one wire print so if you don�t really know your tractor�s the wire prints can show you something your tractor never had.. Just look back through the archives here & you will see lots of errors on advise based on those generic wire prints..

I have most 2-cylinder wire prints & in a lot of cases have re-worked them to eliminate errors (at least the ones I have found so far).. Are mine 100% accurate? NO,, but they are better than original..

If you need that Deere electrical service manual number I can look it up for you as I have a master Deere service manual book out in the shop.. There might even be a C/D out by now (much cheaper than a book)..

I�m sure Duane Larson can supply the electrical SM number also as he is much better organized than I am.. (He probably also has one in his collection)�

You could also install it in either the blue or brown wire at the starter solenoid & that will show a 24 volt charge & � of the 12 volt dis-charge (I think)..

As far as polarity,, just install it & if it reads backwards just swap the wires post to post�
