I finished the wiring on an H Farmall I mentioned in a thread yesterday.
Once I understood the charging circuit, thanks to some of ya'll, I was able to actually simplify some of it over what was there.
The first pic is some of the old wiring I pulled out of it. The second and third pics are the new wiring. (I know, I missed one of the clips under the gas tank).
I worked in Avionics on jet fighter planes in the Marine Corps, a job that frequently involved working with wiring. By "nature of the beast" there were obviously rather stringent standards of workmanship involved. Since then, I've always been appalled at what some people cobble together for wiring on everything from vehicles to farm tractors.
On this one, there are two wires that hook to one post of the ammeter. Instead of simply hooking both wires to the post on the ammeter, someone had run a small bolt through the connectors on both wires and through the connector on a third wire. They then wrapped about a yard of electrical tape around it and hooked the third wire to the ammeter. I obviously eliminated that and simply hooked both new wires to the post on the ammeter.
Anyway, it's working and it's another project done. From the condition of the old wiring, it's a wonder the thing didn't burn down.
