I like to describe the two terminals on an ammeter as SUPPLY and LOAD. If one is marked BATTERY I would take that to be its SUPPLY with the other side as LOAD and its feeds voltage to loads like lights and ignition..
Try wiring the ammeters BATTERY to the battery, perhaps where the big battery cable attaches to the INPUT side of a starter switch or solenoid,,,,,,,, and other wires such as the Genny/Voltage Regulator (BAT on a Voltage Regulator) as well as the input to any light switches or ignition on the other LOAD side. If it reads backwards simply reverse the leads side to side.
Often theres ONLY ONE wire on the SUPPLY side IE the one that gets to battery with maybe TWO WIRES on the LOAD side, one to BAT terminal on a Voltage Regulator or Cutout relay and one to light and ignition switches.
Best guess on your ammeter BATT is the SUPPLY side and LIGHTS is the LOAD side. Wire BATT to battery and LIGHTS to light and/or ignition switches PLUS the output of the charging system (typical BAT on the VR) wires there also

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
