B wiring schematic

I'm helping a friend with his early production B tractor.
Can't read the S/N, but know it's in the 60000-200999 area.
Supposedly the electric start was added to the tractor.
Now my friend does not want to spend the money for a remanufactured wire harness, and wants me to re wire it. It only has a few wires, so it should be pretty simple.
The trouble is, I have not found a schematic anywhere. The closest I can find, is in the JD parts catalog, and even that is kind of vague, as it doesn't show a true schematic.
The tractor has the generator, with a relay, not the voltage regulator. It has 3 gauges, with a single illumination light above. It does have 2 front, and a rear headlight. There is only a headlight switch, and no ignition switch.
If anyone has a schematic that I can copy off from, I would apreciate it very much.
Thanks to anyone who answers, and can help me out.
 
NEED TO KNOW IF TRACTOR HAS A MAGNETO OR COIL FIRED SYSTEM. ALSO, YOU WILL NEED A VOLTAGE REUGLATOR IF YOU USE GENERATOR. HAVE YOU CONVERTED TO 12 VOLT, OR STILL 6 VOLT. WHEN YOU SAY 3 GAUGES, THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE TO WIRE TO THE AMP METER. I CAN WIRE FOR YOU, BUT NEED TO KNOW MORE.
 
(quoted from post at 16:23:23 06/01/13) Will the top schematic help you?
B wiring diagrams

I have a top schematic off JD parts catalog. Yours is a little more detailed, but what I would really like, is one that I can trace all the way through, like a wiring print or schematic. Maybe If I could blow your picture up, I may be able to trace it.
 
That is one thing, that I forgot to mention. It has a magneto ignition, with no switch. So one has to throttle back, and step on the brake, to kill the motor.
The extra gauges were added by the owner, which are an ammeter, temp gauge, and oil pressure. It is still a 6 volt system, and the reason I said there was a relay on the generator, is because there is a small rectangular box screwed on the generator, which I've read in other collumns, is a relay. It is much smaller than a regulator that I would have seen on other tractors. I believe that there are only 2 wires that go to it also. If that is a regulator, I have never seen one like it, or at least not noticed it on other older JD's.
