Somewhat new user here....just regeistered! A 1962 JD 4010 Diesel I bought about 2 weeks back has an electrical system that has been converted from 24 V to 12 V for the starter, and seems to start up just fine. However, the gas guage is inoperable....the needle bounces but does not register correctly. Other guages (eng.temp/tach), idiot lights seem to work. Also, this thing has an older aftermarket "Meade MFG" cab on it and the lights all seem to be kablooie. There is also a top-of-the-headliner radio and 2 squirelcage blowers (just fresh air/no heat or cooling) that are FUBAR too. The wiring is definately spotty (insulation missing kinda allover) but the main wiring harness seems to be intact. I'm looking to restore the headlights at a minimum, and I do have 2 wiring diagrams I got off this site last week. One that a YT user had apparently drawn up himself, and one out of a manual for a JD 4010 Diesel. Both are pretty clean/good, but do not speak to the 24V-12V conversion. My questions would be: Where can I bring a hot wire from and still have it in the starting/on-off switch circut, and will the new(er) alternator setup be up to powering a pair of tail lights, flashers, and maybe a backup/rear facing/cargo light too? Least obtrusive/most collective location for fuses would be where/what size? And/or other things (radio) within reason. That's probably enough for this post. Thankin' you in advance.....JW

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
