I've had this '47(guess) M for about 6-7 years now, don't use it much, but I don't think the generator has ever worked. I entered the automotive repair field about the time alternators came along, so never had to deal with gen's much, and never was very good with them. Anyway, I'm wondering if this thing is wired wrong. Can anyone 'splain to me which wires go where, or tell me where I might find a diagram? What experience I do have with gen's is on Flathead Fords, early Jeeps, and GM. The Jeeps and GM(12V) are both neg grd, and the IH uses a Delco system, maybe totally different from the Ford. Not sure about the GM 6V. Sure don't want to burn something up. Thanx guys an hav a gud'un. BW NE CO

Bruce - You'll find the Farmall/Delco electrical systems pretty simple compared to the flathead Ford, Jeep, etc systems you are familiar with. How your's is wired depends on whether your tractor still has the original cutout relay (2 terminals and is mounted on the generator), or has been refitted with a voltage regulator (4 terminals and may/may not be mounted on the gen).

Punch below for typical wiring diagrams and troubleshooting charts for both types of systems.

Since Bob M doesn't seem to be on right now to defend himself, I'll take the liberty of posting a link to his diagrams. They're GREAT!
