Alternator L1500

[Bobofett]

Thanks, I'll check it on a day when it's not raining. The dash looks very similar. I did find an article from Lblevins on Orange Tractor Talks on replacing the alternator with a one-wire Denso, which looked very simple.

Do you have an operator/owner manual? These older models often have an electrical diagram in there.

I forgot to look there. Looks like the L1500 doesn't even have a charge light. I'd go the 1-wire approach.

It is now, I was unfamiliar with that particular post.

My l1500 has a charge and oil light both of them in the tachometer/hour meter housing.

I see them now.

Thanks for the wiring diagram; I needed it. At this point, since the wiring looks like a pot of spaghetti, I am going to put a one-wire alternator on it, run it to the hot side of the starter, and use no gauges. Seems like my simplest way to go.
