Hey guys,
I nedd a little expert electrical advice. I just bought a 1969 4020D. Today was the first day I was going to use it. I had put two new 12 volt batteries on it about two weeks ago. I got on it to start it to roll some hay and it was dead. I then attempted to jump start it. It was at this point I noticed a wire smoking from the alternator. I took the jumper cables off and beat out the fire. the smoke was coming from a small wire that had burnt in two going to the alternator. This wire was connected on the other end to two baterry cables bolted together. this whole mess was duck taped. These cables went back under the steering wheel area. I noticed only one battery had an actual ground. The other ground appeared to be one of these wires going toward the alternator. I haven't totally disassembled the mess yet. Does this sound like this is wired right? I don't know.
Someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Devin
