Title: Three Halftrack Schematics
Post by: steve1973 on December 14, 2012, 11:22:11 PM

I just purchased an original halftrack maintenance book that has three pullout schematics. Though I would post them here. Two are for the early style fender mounted headlights and the last one is for the later pedestal lights.

I will have to check on the number. I don't think there is one as the manual was put out by White Motor Company.

That is for a radio if so equipped.

That is for power to the radio equipment.   I have seen pictures with the terminal box being in both the left and the right benches.   The terminal box is a 4" x 4" x 2" +/- metal junction box with a terminal block.   You can still get the terminal box and block from the halftrack suppliers.

a few more questions,
I have to do some wiring myself.
Anyone know wire gauge for

bat/fld/arm on regulator
wiring at ammeter to fuse panel, ign switch, starter button
fuse to voltmeter

Thanks,
Andy

For the bat/fld/arm wires I believe is #4 gauge wire. From the battery to the ammeter and ammeter to fuse block is #6 gauge. Everything else is #14 gauge wire per schematics.

If you want I can send you a copy of the schematic directly via email. If you load it into paint under accessories you can zoom in and read all the wording or take it in to a copy/print shop and have it blown up and even laminated for use in the shop. That is what I did on 11X17" paper.

In Steve's wiring diagram that shows wire gauge size, most of the wiring is 14 gauge. 1 thing i find strange is the coil wire from fuel gauge to coil is 16g? why would it be smaller than all the other wires?

Andy, I would just use 14 gauge wire.
