Bought a 58 420, it ran, I used it. Had to charge the 12 volt battery each time and figured I would deal with it in the winter. Now as I try to figure out what is going on I find it has 12 volt battery, negative ground. 6 volt JD model TY1444 generator that does not function. Has a DR 6 volt coil, no external voltage regulator on coil. Has DR distributor. Has 6 volt, while not original, stock regulator behind the dash and the entire thing is wired just like the diagram says it should be. Other than no charge, it runs like a top. Also replaced headlights with new 6 volt before realizing battery was 12 and they function. Why have lights not blown or coil cooked?
