Working on a friends 961 Ford serial # 2461 and have a couple questions. He replaced the 6 volt battery and hooked it negative ground. Is this tractor supported to be positive ground? IT manual shows 6 volt positive and 12 volt negative but covers a lot of models.
The tractor won"t turn over unless I jump a hot wire to one of the small terminals on the solenoid and a ground to the other. The starter then turns it over just fine. Therefore I assume the solenoid is OK. However, when I remove either of the jumpers it won"t turn over with the key on and the push button switch depressed. The solenoid and wires had been removed by my friend so I"m not sure which goes where. I assume the single red wire from the push button switch goes to the solenoid S terminal. There is continuity from the solenoid end of the red wire to a ground when the push button is pressed so I assume that side is OK. The "I" terminal would then get the red and white wires. I assume the red wire is from the keyed switch. With only the key on should I get 6 volts at the red wire? Also does it matter which large posts the battery and starter cables go to? The white wire runs to the coil and there is continuity. I assume this wire has to be connected for the tractor to run. I rigged a connector so that the white wire was connected and yet allowed me to hook a jumper hoping to get it running and into the shop. It turned over with the jumper but wouldn"t start. Help will be appreciated.
