Recently I hooked up a new 6v battery to what was originally a 6v positive ground tractor ('51 Farmall M). The wiring had been 'reversed' and a modern 12v was installed when I found it. The 12v battery was not charging so I switched it out for a modern 6v battery. The tractor would not even turn over. I have since switched back over to a 12v battery but cannot get the battery to charge.
How can a 6v battery even work? Is the ignition coil a 12v? The starter is 6v but the battery wouldn't even turn it over, much less get ignition going. Ideas, please?
