Hi y'all.
I've been looking all over old posts for some insight to this problem, but haven't found any answers. I sure could use some advice.
I just bought a house and it came with an old 8n side distributor tractor. Guy said it was running a year ago when he parked it.
I went to pull the old battery and was very confused when I saw the positive cable was ground. :shock:
It has a newer looking one wire alternator and the old battery looks to be a normal 12 volt.
Can it run like this? It must, but it gives me the creeps to hook a 12 volt battery up positive ground!
Everything I have read says you MUST go to a normal negative ground when you convert to 12 volts.
