[What would happen if I changed it to a positive ground?]-You would straight away blow the diodes in the alternator and let all the smoke out-LEAVE IT AT NEGATIVE ground
[I did not change the fields in the starter]-Not required-starter is a series wound motor and will rotate in the same direction whether + or -ve ground
I have it neg. ground but I went to IH and they say positive ground on the 12 volt gas. Is that my problem?-NO YOU-PRESUMABLY-correctly changed it to Negative ground to fit the Alternator
I would guess your problem is a bad connection, somewhere in the wiring from the +ve battery terminal to the starter solenoid operating coil connection [Sometimes marked S]-you say there is no solenoid "click" when it fails. So, whatever you do, don't change the Polarity and post back with the results of the checking for +12 volts at the solenoid S terminal on an attempted start. Make sure you are not going to be run over etc if it does start
