Wiring diagram

[Bamacub]

All diagrams show battery wire from voltage regulator to charge indicator on the minus side, if I wire it this way it shows discharge. If I change the wires on the amp meter it shows charge.

All I am asking is what am I doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Be patient. I'm sure you'll get a response soon.

Is your tractor system pos or neg ground? Looking through your previous posts I cannot determine what year/model you are referring to. TKS

All 6volt Cubs are Positive ground tractors.

Agreed if original (I've seen some weird systems in the past). You never can tell what someone might have done to it.

12 volt neg ground

[Eugene]

Is the 12 volt generator/regulator something you installed?

Polarized the regulator?

If the 12 volt negative ground installation was done on 6 volt positive ground system, then you need to change the wiring on the amp meter as you indicated.

I too am restoring a 1949 Cub. Put new wiring on 12 volt system with alternator. Followed all the instructions from new wiring diagram. When I push the starter button to off the engine keeps running. HELP, please.

It's a late model 12 volt original cub. I am building a wiring harness, it was a big mess when I got it. A non runner I am bringing back to life.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like your Cub has several electrical modifications to the original factory setup (12v Battery and alternator on a 49 Cub). Do you have a two prong push-pull ignition switch?

Start a new topic. You have a different problem than the original poster.

The problem is that the alternator is back feeding the ignition system when you push/off the ignition switch.

We will need more information to solve the problem.

I agree with Eugene, you should start a new thread. The solution is an easy one but we need to know what equipment you're running.

Thanks... being new to the forum I didn’t know how to start posting. Will start a new post and seek help that way. Looking forward to being a part of group with so much knowledge on Farmalls.
