I'm trying to button up some stuff on a tractor of mine. It has a 12v generator that works, but has a bad voltage regulator. Now, for those of you that haven't bought a voltage regulator recently, unless you buy a VERY expensive one, they are all junk. And, the junk ones aren't exactly cheap at all either. It's actually cheaper and less hassle in the long run for me to just stick an alternator on it, since I have some wiring to do anyway. I dont buy wiring harnesses for anything, I have a large stock of electrical supplies and loom, and just make my own harnesses, and I love the simplicity of a Delco 1 wire alternator. But, I'll also use the regular 10si 3 wire alternator if that's what I have on hand. But, on this tractor, it has an idiot light on the cluster that goes out when it's charging, or charged up. In going through all my mental notes on how I could wire it up, I'm just not seeing how it's possible to get an idiot/charge indicator light to work with a 1 wire alternator. I'm sure there must be a way, but right now it is not coming across in my memory. It currently has a single wire panel light for the charge indicator. Would there be a way to do it with a 2 wire panel light? I'm thinking it may just be easier to wire it with a regular 3 wire 10si that I have on the shelf. Any of you have any insight on this? Thanks for any ideas guys.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
