OK I have seen a lot of posts on this. I spent the day today converting to 12 volts. I followed the directions and diagrams on this site. Amazingly when I was finished it started. I did add a voltmeter as some suggested(cheap radioshack car type 15 volts). I put it just after the lamp on the wire from the alternator #1. The lamp does not light and the voltmeter goes negative when I turn the key and stays there after I have started the tractor. I had reversed the ammeter leads from the original 6 volt settings and my coil is wired right. It runs fine and I am not sure if it is charging. Do I reverse the voltmeter hook up. I ran the wire from the alt to the lamp to the positive side and then from the negative to the ignition. The lamp holder is hard to work with as is the voltmeter the posts are microscopic, any advise on those. Also voltmeter came with small resistor which is placed between lamp and positive terminal. I know I am close. I haven"t hooked up lights yet???
