I have a D12 and I'm trying to convert it to 12 volts and failing.
Bought the parts from DJR Tractor Parts including a one wire alternator and 12 volt coil. Reversed polarity of battery so it is now negative ground. New alternator went in great. Wired the one wire from the alternator to the positive side of the ammeter as per the instructions. Installed the new 12 volt coil (have the new polarity correct), and disconnected all the wires to the old voltage regulator.
Went to turn the key to start and nothing. No clicking or anything.
No 12 volts measured on the positive side of the coil.
It seems the ignition switch is not getting any 12 volt power.
How is the ignition switch supposed to get power and why is it not getting power now?
PS: If I try to bridge the gap on the starter solenoid I can get the starter to turn over, so the ignition switch is definitely where I'm going wrong at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
