Hello,
I am new to the form and have some general questions about the 1953 ford golden jublee Naa 1 tractor I picked up for a new project.
1. the trator is wired positve from battery to the starter seliniod and ground from the battery to ground. It is the 6 volt w 3 lead generator but no votage regulator? It looked like the origanal wire harness that I removed. All of the info i found on the tractor says that it is positive ground and to a voltage regulaor.
I have seval wire diagrams on it from differant sources.
Need some help on this first stumper.
Is there supose to be the voltage reulator or is it in the generator?
Are the wires from the battery correct to the pricable of the positive ground system? I am not believing so.
Thank you for you help
 
Welcome to the forums!
Originally it was 6 volt, positive ground with a generator and regulator.
The regulator was on the back side of the steering column under the hood.
Sounds like you're on the right track.
Our hosts here sell the regulator and wiring harness if you need them.
 
as said.. it was originally positve ground. sounds like yours is negative ground IF the negative post of the battery is tied to chassis.

I notice you said 'ground' of the battery was tied to chassis of tractor.

that's BAD nomenclature.

a battery and charge devices have polarities.. ground is a 'reference point , or even plane, if commons are used.

saying battery negative is MUCH less ambigous than saying battery ground, dealing in situations where either may be used.

now you need to determine IF there is a reg hidden on the steering column.. or if you really have an alternator.. or a genny that has been gutted and made into an alternator. there are specialty shops that will make your genny an alternator... etc.

usually.. gennies are cylindrical and longer than they are in diameter. an alternator is about as long as it is wide.. usually aluminum.. etc.

see if the charge poutput stud on your device runs right to some point where it hits battery hot.. or if it goes thru a reg first.
