Anyone out there have some good answers when it comes to converting an Oliver over to 12V? I think my problem is in the way I am wiring the ignition switch. My switch has the following connections: IGN, TAIL, FLOOD, BRT, BAT1, BAT2, and SOL. My question is, "What hooks to what connections on the switch?" Right now, I have the #1 alternator terminal hooked to BAT1 and the coil hooked to the IGN. With this connection, it won't start. I have tried other connections, but I've run into problems with the tractor not shutting off when the switch is turned off, or with over-charging the battery. I have the #2 alternator connection ran to the BAT post on the alternator--I then run that connection back to the ammeter.

Anymore, I'm not sure if I have anything hooked up right!

Thanks for the help in advance!!

here is how i did mine if i remember corectly here are some of the parts i bought new coil with built in resiter and i also got a new 12v starter solinoid i also got a rebuilt 12v alternator with built in regulator so i could just have one wire from alternator anyway i ran a wire from new coil to ign on switch and i ran a wire from alternator to the amp gauge then one from there to battery side of the stater solinoid i also ran a wire from the switch to the sol on the starter solinoid and i ran a wire from the battery side of the solinoid back to the switch for power i hope this helps if this not the right someone on here can be a better help my switch is a little different then yours if i remember correctly it was almost 2 years ago when i did this so i might have forgot something or some of my information might not be right

First of all you need to run a 10 gauge wire from the Ammeter to the battery terminal of the alternator and also to reverse the terminals on the ammeter as you now have a negative ground system. You also need to find a resistor for the coil and reverse the terminals on the coil. This is due to a change in polarity. You need to have power to activate the alternator (excite the Field) You may also need to add a resistor in the circuit so the switch will turn if off. Go back about 10 pages on this form. There was a diagram on how to do this a Farmall. Take a look at that first, Anyhow tell me if you have done all these steps. I forgot, if I read your post correctly you now do not have a wire that goes from the discharge side of the ammeter to the ignition swich, in other words you hacve no power at the swich. Do you have a voltmeter? testlight so you can check your progress? Questions/

At the alt the output terminal is joined to #2, #1 goes to the coil input. #1 is used to activate the alt then is not used. Current from the alt goes directly to the ampmeter then to the battery. The link below is for Ford but is basic to all conversions.
