I bought a 1955 jd 50. Is it a positve or negitive ground. I do know its a 12 volt system. Its 75 miles away and my manual says nothing. Please advise before I fry something.

Thanks,

Randy G.

Hello Randy,

I've got a 1953 model 50. They were all 12 Volt Positive ground. I had the same question when I first got my 50. You are right, the owners manual does not say anything about it.

I've had good luck with the standard Generator setup, although I did re-wire it. 50 years of heat and dirt takes their toll on insulation. I installed a 30 amp "main" fuse to protect everything (except for the starter) against a short. Not much to protect really but things do sometimes come loose. I also installed a main battery switch which takes the battery completely out of the circuit when it's switched off.

John

I believe your 50 would be 12 volt positive ground. I have a 1954 50 and it is that way. Good luck with your 50. I really like mine Roger
