iluvdrt Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have a john deere gator (4x6 3 cyl diesel) I found in the desert (I am currently in Iraq deployed) and I have been trying to get it fixed up. After replacing the trans, and various axles, the wiring harness (self made), and other odds and ends, I need to wire up the alternator. It is a 3 wire type internally regulated (delco remy I believe). The wires are as such 1 big red wire coming from the top, 1 yellow wire and a brown wire coming out of a plug underneath the red one. I know the big red wire goes to the battery, but where do the other 2 go? I believe the yellow one goes to the "run" side of the switch I made, and the brown would go to the ammeter, than back to the battery. I am not sure though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvdrt Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 The last one did it for me. I dont have a dummy light, so I just didnt connect that wire to anything for now. I plan on installing an ammeter, but I need tolocate a shunt first. Thanks for all the help. I actually got her fired up and running today. This web site is the best for general auto tech.

nvexplorer Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If the alt gives you problems wire up a light or a resistor to that dummy light wire. Some models need them in order to run. Mainly older GM's but its a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
