I mentioned this on the Farmall forum a couple of weeks ago when I started the project.
Earlier this fall, I bought a 1944 H Farmall to go with my other two H's. It's proven to be healthy mechanically, but the wiring was atrocious, with insulation falling off, bare wires, etc. I decided to rewire it.
When I tore into it, I found the whole system was a cobbled up mess. It had a new style generator with the fixed third brush and a voltage regulator, but the light switch and the rest of the wiring was appropriate for the older style generator with an adjustable third brush and cutout relay. Some of the wires weren't even connected, and the lights didn't work.
I decided to start over from scratch. I pulled all of the old wiring off and ordered a new voltage regulator, new style light switch, along with some woven plastic sheaths to run the wires through, plus a fuse holder to mount in the ammeter panel. Armed with the proper wiring diagram, I built an all new wiring harness.
I was done far enough yesterday to try it, and it all works like it should.
My plan is to swap my loader from another H onto this one, and do some serious work on the one that has the loader on it now, including all new wiring. That one has been in the family since 1957, so it might even deserve a new paint job.

The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
