Hello all. Thank you for adding me. Just picked up a 601. Tractor was used very little. Previous owner swapped in a 12v battery years ago. Tractor seemed to always work but things like the ammeter read backwards. When i bought it, i added a new battery. I put positive to the wiring and ground to the chassis. Tractor worked the first day. Some time later i went and tried to start it and the solenoid would soark and smoke. Got to reading about positive ground, so i reversed the leads. They fit better this way so i figured i made a mistake. Doesnt matter how its hooked up but now after about 10 minutes of being off the generator smokes. Any ideas what i need to do? Good posibilty previous own never changed anything from 6v.
