Been pretty much an old Farmall man but had a chance to buy a little Allis B at a yard sale a while back. It's a 53 model with electric start,
but at present has no battery so I just crank it.
Is the 53 B a pos ground like the old Farmalls or a neg ground. It's a nice little tractor, but
it's time to restore it. Thanks for your help.

Positive ground. If you change to negitive ground and have battery ignition do not forget to change the coil polarity.

original 6 volt positive ground. you can use 6 or 12 volt negative to start. starter does not care. if you switch to 12 volt, buy a balast resistor for the distributor coil (to drop back to 6 vt), and change any lights.

Rule of thumb: Virtually all 6 volt systems for these tractors are positive ground. Not that it would be a big deal of someone changed it to negative ground.
