The alternator's case is labeled "1" and "2". where the little harness plugs in. Jumper the lead from # 2 over to the large output stud. (Going all the way to the (+) battery cable with that lead gives better regulation of voltage at the battery, but is not absolutely necessary on an old tractor.)

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
