Hello All.
Im needing to appeal to all of those folks who know better than me on this one.
I bought two H's earlier this year, both all original for the most part. I got them from the second owner, who just had them for a few years and never got around to working on them.
One of them is a '45, the other a '51. They are both still 6 volt, one has a mag ignition, the other is battery ignition.
The issue is that the '45 is still hooked up positive ground, and it works great. The '51 is hooked up negative ground, but Im not sure if that is right. The ammeter swings in the reverse direction, but the tractor starts right up and runs well for the most part....
Im not sure if the '51 is supposed to be positive or negative ground. Is there an easy way to tell? Can I just hook the battery up the opposite way?
