As it turns out, there were 2 problems. The reason I could not connect the positive lead to the battery after grounding it to the block, was because my negative lead was not insulated and had been grounded out at some point in time. The solution was to put the positive lead on the negative post and visa-versa. At some point in time I can get an insulated negative lead and put it back the way it should be. 2nd problem, battery still not getting charged after polarizing the generator. My mechanic was able to get it charging for a few seconds then it would stop. He opened up the regulator and said he had only seen this one other time. This new regulator had evidently been sitting on the shelf for so long that the points had oxidized. He attempted to file them to get it to work but no success, so he replaced it. The Ammeter works now as well. Thank you all for your postings. I learn alot just from reading this message board.
Thanks again

Russell..... ..I would caution you against "braggin" about your negative grounded 8N. You loose about 25% of your sparkies with incorrect grounding. You've been lucky so far.

Your ignition coil is internally configured to work best with positive ground. Its an electromagnetic theory thing which I don't want to go into and confuse all the other N-Tractor owners who are having sparkie problems and are electrically challenged..... .....respectfully, Dell
