Hey there.
I need help from you knowledgeable Ford 800-801 series guys. I have a '57 Ford 801 I'm converting to 12 V. I bought a kit thru Yesterday's Tractor Co.
I hooked up the kit as instructed. When I turn on the keyed ignition switch and depress the starter button, the two wires hooked to the keyed get VERY hot and melt the insulation on the wires. What did I do incorrectly? One statement on the instruction state to delete the ORANGE wire on 600 series models. Mine is a 801, so I ignored this. Can anyone tell be what I did wrong? I really need my tractor. Spring is here!
Thank you
