The cold has apparently sapped the 6-volt battery in my 1947 Farmall Cub. I have a 6-volt charger, but how do I tell if the system in the Cub is a negative-ground post or positive-ground post? I've read enough around here to know that the difference is an important one, and that doing things the wrong way can reverse the polarity in the battery. The manual I have for this charger shows that NGP systems have the negative wire grounded on the tractor itself, while the PGP system connects in the usual way -- pos to pos, neg to neg. The system in the Cub is original, as far as I am aware. I can take pictures if need be.
