I've been meaning for a while to fix the starter switch on my side mount 8N 12v -G. I think I will have to have a new solenoid cause the one I have now takes a + to activate. The cheapo switch I have in place now didn't last a year and I've been starting by shorting the wire on the solenoid to the top post strait from the batt. Are the original 6v solenoids ok for a 12v system? I had some other stuff I was gonna order from Amzn and I get free ship with $35 purchase so I figured this would b a good excuse to buy more tractor parts.
