I need your help with this one. I have a farmall 400 gas 1956 that was 12 volt when I bought it. The lights are all 12 volt. I replaced the generator with a delco alternator with its own regulator. Removed the old regulator that did not work, installed a new battery, and replaced the starter armature, brushes, and bushing. This is my problem; it will start 20x without any problems but the 21st time nothing happens. No cranking not even solenoid click. I have it neg. ground but I went to IH and they say positive ground on the 12 volt gas. Is that my problem? What would happen if I changed it to a positive ground? I did not change the fields in the starter. I am lost at where to proceed. Thanks for any advice John

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
