Delco Alternator Wiring - Reversed Terminals

Posted by Jim Bloss on December 30, 2004 at 15:17:20 from (65.238.81.97):

I just wired up the alternator that came on my 8N. According to all I have read the #1 terminal which is the field terminal should be hooked to the ignition switch and the the #2 terminal which is the sensing terminal can be hooked up to the alternator output terminal. I tried this. There was no alternaot output and the tractor could not be switched off. I switched the wires on the #1 and 2 terminals. (The #2 terminal came with a jumper wire to the output terminal.) It now charges and the ignition switch now turns off the engine. Does anyone know why this appears to be working or am I being fooled?
