Paul, I just put 12 volt batteries on my LAs and they are Negative Ground. Put a 12 volt generator and lights on and you are ready to go.---Derrol in Texas---(Case LA Propane)

I'm also working on a 49 LA. The starter works and so does the Gen. (6 volt) but I haven't hooked it up just yet. Need a 6 volt bastery. Available here at PeaVey Mart. My schematics show negative ground.

Careful there. We used 12 volts on LA long term and finally broke the end housing off the starter. 6 volt is fine, they don't need to spin very fast.
