Maybe it the OP can post a pic of his set-up, might help.

I will post some pics as soon as the weather breaks and I can get to the barn. It was -24 here today at the house.

Here are 2 pictures. one of the fule side and one of the electrical side. Sorry for the delay but the weather just wouldn't cooperate. This machine is a crawlet, not a tractor if that makes a difference

What you have is a GM alternator. There are lots of sites which describe how to convert them to a simple installation which is all you really need.
Here is one of the sites:
Delco SI Alternator 1-Wire vs 3-Wire Explained
It basically requires an external jumper and then the alternator will start charging as soon as the engine starts.
The down side is no warning light to tell you it is not working.

You are welcome.
Post back if you are unsuccessful in getting the charging system to work.
One of the dangling wires, likely the heaviest or thickest, will be going to the battery or to the battery terminal on the starter solenoid.
If you can establish that is where it goes, you can connect it to the threaded terminal on the back of the alternator and just tape up the other wires individually so they don't short against each other or any metal part of the machine.
