Seriously,I've never done it,but I bought a forage box from a guy several years ago who had a restored Ferguson 30. He said that his dad bought it new. Said they were hauling hay with it one summer and the battery got bad,so they went to town and got a new one. Said from the time they put it in,it wouldn't start with the starter. It would whirl,but wouldn't start. Said if they pulled it just a few feet,it would start right up and run perfect. He said they finally got tired of messing with it and parked it for quite a few years. Said when his son got old enough to care about it,he wanted to restore it. He said that they discovered that way back all those years ago,they had hooked the battery up to negative instead of positive ground. Said they put a new one in and hooked it up right and it's started great every since.
Why wasn't it starting right with the ground reversed?
