I have a IH 574 with serial no 231000B109748-x it had a small fire at amp gauge and it burn the screw out the back of the amp gauge it did not shut down until I was able to get it home .
I replaced with a new amp gauge and have wire's wired as follows I have .10 gauge wire from starter to positive side on amp gauge and it has wire from ignition switch to negative side on amp gauge it has .10 gauge wire from a Lucas alternator to the positive side of amp gauge . tractor will not start back up.. Turns over but nothing...
I have also unwrapped all the wires to make sure nothing was burn or frayed .
While checking over things I notice the Lucas alternator has 2 wires but a 3 prong post on connection at alternator one wire is brown and unhooked no idea where it goes no owners manuals or wire diagrams for this British made 574 tractor...
Do I have this wired up right? for just info I have looked at the diagrams that are on Carter and Gruenewald Company, Inc. and none of them match how my tractor is wired anyone know if this is because it was a British 574 ?
And what is the correct wiring from the Lucas alternator to its correct components ?
Also have drain the fuel and will be putting new filters and fresh fuel in tractor.. I notice also when I turn the tractor over it has a little sucking on exhaust .
Is the sucking on exhaust normal?
Tractor has new starter and new Lucas alternator and new amp gauge
Tractor was running when I shut it down....
