Mike: I think I've go that right, too many of you guys for this old head to keep straight. I run all my conversions with jump wires. My first alternator conversion was Super A using a delco 6 volt alternator, yes and keeping the tractor 6 volt. When you go alternator, a Super A has an extra wire in the harness. I use that wire for my jump wire right back to the dash where I drilled a hole and installed a starter type push button switch. When the tractor starts, just hit the push button to excite the alternator. When tractor is not running this insures no battery drain. On the 6 volt conversion, no one was able to sell me what I needed to do otherwise. When I did my 130 and 12 volt alternator, I couldn't get the exact light or diodes Bob recomends, thus it didn't work very well. Went to another supplier, still no luck getting right lamp. 130 has the extra wire in harness also, thus you know what happened next. Actually my time frame on the 130 is longer than the wording sounds. I fooled with that one close to a year before going push button. When it came to doing 140, it was jump wire and push button all the way. I still use the old amp gauge, thus when I hit the button, by watching amp gauge as I do it, I know it's charging. I haven't had a dead battery since, nor have I had to buy any bulbs, diodes, etc. These have been exceptionally trouble free for me.
