I have a super 55 diesel with a 1 wire alternator. In the past I have tried to hook it up because I am not too sure the battery is charging in the tractor. It was just replaced last year along with a new battery and new battery cables. Is there a diagram I can go off of, or how does it work? I have had no luck in the past, I know there has to be something I am not doing right. I have also heard that the tractor has to be at a ceratin rpm for the alternator to charge? Thanks

We have several 1 wire alternators and all require the throttle to be wide open before they start to charge. It sakes just a few seconds to start the charging and then will usually charge at an Idle. Our 2-44 backhoe stops charging when we let the clutch out at an idle, and requires reving up to resume. Remember these are designed for trucks and they usually have greater RPMs.

I ahve a one wire alternator on my Super 88 Deisel. It works and charges fine. The only issue is that the engine has to be reved to about half throttle to get it to start charging. I usually start it. Wait for oil to get a chance to get everything lubricated then rev it to start the charging and then idle it back and use as needed.

Correct on the last part. To keep it simple I would go to a Voltmeter. Also did you change the wire going to the alternator to a a 10 gauge wire. Single wire alternators leave some short commings over an alternator with the correct hookup.

I do have one, but I couldn't figure out how to wire the stupid thing. I think the wire is greater than a 10 gauge. Alot of times when I am hauling wood and such, I let the tractor idle pretty low trying to save fuel. Thats gotta be my problem with it charging. I usually have it running for a 1/2 hour or more.
