Yes guys I was gonna' keep the amp lite at first but like I mentioned I changed out the original ignition switch and forget how it was originaly wired,maybe this is why I have two wires instead of one like the oil and temp had, ....one of the lamps had two wires and I think it was the amp lite and it probely was connected to the original keyed ignition switch, I now have only the one new keyswitch that has only one terminal for accessories so I gather I'll have to connect that W/R wire to this to activate the old idiot amp light once again, this be the only way I could connect it as the old ignition switch is long gone, I threw it in the garbage months ago, in the wiring diagram it shows this W/R connected to the ignition side of the original switch, where it became a live/hot wire when the key was activated, I've got the heavy wire (10 gauge) connected to the neg side of this new amp meter and the positive to the #30 terminal of this new ignition switch and it does show a negitive draw when I turn on the accessories(lights etc) or the pre heat to the glow plugs or activate the starter, so that part is working okay, plus the oil and temp gauges are workin' fine, the oil pressure is real good and the cooling system is fine since I had the rad tested and flushed out, it will need recoring in the near future as the rad shop told me it had quite a build up of that white stuff that to me looks like calcium from usin' water with lots of minerals in it, my only goal right now is gettin' this thing to charge again, and then I'll be relaxed, and carry on with other minor issues I have with this tractor, I do appreciate all this info about reconnecting the amp lite, take care, AMPA
