Which is one wire going to the ammeter?
Take the generator and cutout shown and white them out. Yep, gone. In their place goes the alternator, and that one wire going to the ammeter, now is the one wire coming from the alternator. At this point, let’s think about the ammeter.
Can you use negative ground on a 12 volt ammeter?
At this point, let’s think about the ammeter. First, you can’t run to the same side, since with the 12 volt conversion, we are going to use negative ground rather than positive ground that all the old tractors used. So the drawing needs to change to swap connections from one side of the ammeter to the other.
What’s the best way to protect a 60 Amp ammeter?
If you’d prefer not to upgrade to a 60 amp ammeter, the way to protect it, is to put a fuse between the alternator and ammeter. Even if you did upgrade ammeter, it’s still a good idea to put some protection into the system. Any auto parts store will have a modern spade fuse loop with #10 wire that you can wire in easily.

How do you hook up an amp gauge?
In order to show proper charge, all electricity from the alternator / generator needs to pass through the amp gauge. 4) Connect a minimum 10AWG wire from the “BAT” position of the ignition switch to terminal “S” on the back of the amp gauge. 5) Connect a minimum 10AWG wire from the Alternator “OUTPUT” to terminal “S” of the amp gauge.

Can you use an amp gauge on an alternator?
Amp Gauge Wiring 1) Always disconnect the ground lead from the vehicle battery before wiring any gauge. 2) Classic Instruments’ Amp gauge should only be used on vehicles with alternators rated at 60 Amps or less. Using an alternator with higher output capacity is dangerous and could cause a fire.
