41 9n has a 3 wire Delco alternator. I want to install a 1 wire delco alternator. How much rewiring will be required?

one. just don't plug in the two wire connector and connect the big 3rd wire exactly the same as it was.

Why do you want to install a one-wire when it already has a three-wire? Just buy a three-wire and plug it in.

Sometimes with a 1 wire you have to rev the motor after you start it to get the regulator to self energize because of the low RPM''s the alternator turns.
 
Though I prefer a 3 wire setup, your
comment is not one of the reasons.
Dell used to say you had to "Jazz yer
cold engine to get it to start charging."

I never understood that.
If you have enough juice in your battery
to start the tractor you have enough
juice to run it for a few minutes and let
it warm up a bit before you rev it to
start charging. As Jmor said you usually
run one most of full throttle anyway.

I have two purchased from this site and they also start charging immediately.

Same here, it fires right off.
