engine swap progress on my sub 15 and need some help from wv or someone else

well today i pulled the 16hp briggs off the ss14 and pulled the 14hp off the sub 15. i got the starter generator bracket figured out and getting it finished tomorrow with a torch. during my destruction i happen to look behind the dash and i was like ohhh S***. i seen a ground wire going from the voltage regulater mounting bolt up to the ignition switch bare and frayed all over so i investigated a bit more and found the reason my volt meater was bouncing all over the place its got about 2 inch bare spot. i dont like small 4 legged critters. so tomorrow i am pulling gas tank and clutch bracket replacing those 2 wires and possibly more. i also need some help. when i got this tractor i had a black wire hanging by the engine i think this is kill wire but not sure. wv if you can can u snap a couple pictures of this wire plz

took the dash loose replaced the broken starter generator adjustment bracket fixed the red wire (cut the bad spot out and shortened it. and replaced the black ground wire that was frayed put engine on it and got it running and that was my problem with volt meter shows about 4 amps or so

Just wondering if the sub 15 came with an amp meter and the SS-15 came with a volt meter. Both my SS-15s have volt meters and appear to be factory.
