I believe I have another electrical problem with my 1949 M. It has been starting and running fine. Today, while it was running, I noticed that the ammeter needle wasn't moving and I was worried the battery wasn't charging. I played with the switch from low to high charge, and then turned the switch all the way to the right where it says Lights and Off. The tractor shut right down, now it won't start again.
I've check some connections, and all seemed fine. I tried to see if there was spark on the plugs by holding the plug up against the tractor metal and turning it over, no spark. I see some older posts on here and will start checking where i have power and where I don't. But in the meanitme, does anyone have any ideas? Any reason shutting the tractor down by turning the switch all the way to the right might have done? There are no wired lights on this tractor. There is a stud off the wire harness for lights to plug into. I thought mayde I shorted something out by trying to turn the lights on, but id didn't look like that stud was touching anything. Thanks for any ideas!
