wireing

[oklahomabob]

I have a 1048 8n front mount distriburator. I have now gen. just a altanator but only one white wire that plugs into it and the fan belt. I have no resistor,voltage regulator. every thing comes off batt. been that way since I got it.it ran good for 3 yrs. found out I had a blown head gasket. replaced that. also had a problem with tractor running fine then shut down after 30 min. I have 5 wires going to the amp meter . power side. had a short burnt up wires to amp. and fried coil.and points probly ordered new parts and want to rewire . with my set up what wires do I run

Your one wire alternator is a common setup. It will work.
I will add my recommendation for JMOR's wiring diagram also.
The 5 wires to the ammeter make me think you do not have the
original ballast resistor where the wires would normally hook up.
Whether you use a 12V or 6V coil you will want that resistor in
there. An additional one also if you use a 6V coil.
This resistor missing (or both) may be the cause of your
"running fine then shut down after 30 min" symptom.

Good to see you are replacing all wires. Cut them off and don't look back. Jesse's diagrams will do the job. He deserves a stipend for his work in that area. Only thing I can add is to use split loom. I don't like wires rubbing on anything especially if the circuit isn't fused.

I don't know how far you need to go into the wiring on your tractor but if all you need to do is get your alternator charging again there is a very simple diagram for a 3 wire at the link below.
Some good info on the Delco 10SI alternators as well.
