This particular tractor has a cable driven off the back side of the alternator to drive the tachometer so I am stuck with an external regulator. A car regulator fits the wiring harness but I am unsure if since it is a diesel if it will work.

Massey Ferguson Industrial 31, 1973 or there abouts. The regulator has 4 wires, the alternator is new not rebuilt and has 3 wires. Battery, ground, and field. I think the current regulator is from a Ford car and since this is a diesel I don't think it will work. It has a 4 cylinder Perkins...
