Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeOH, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did rig rig up the adjustable spark gap, ran the old IH coil both ways and I sure did prove a point! That b&d is DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
Connected originally as it was 6v pos ground , I got a neg polarity spark as expected & set gap screw to maximum that it would arc. Then, reversed battery connections on tractor & repeated and spark now has pos polarity and maximum gap setting that it will arc across is still same. So, same voltage just reversed polarity!!! Next, I reversed the two primary wires on coil & repeated and now I once again have a neg spark polarity, but the gap had to be closed inorder to obtain an arc. So, if you want the neg polarity, you have to give up spark voltage in exchange. Thus it is shown!
Circuit analysis had long ago shown this & except for those that haven't performed same, the imperical approach wasn't necessary or worth all the effor to disconnect, reconnect coil & generator (didn't want to re-polarize). Now, IF it is really important to you about those couple hundred volts & neg polarity (that is, you want tnem BOTH), then you can purchase a coil for a tractor that was factory Neg ground & it will have the correct winding sense (primary rel to secondary) to provide BOTH the higher voltage AND correct polarity.
So, what is your escape route now b&d???

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
