I posted up in Tractor Talk but the post dropped off real quick to page 2 or 3. Just got this 77 from a friend who is moving. He put a 12 volt battery in it and tried to start it. In will spin over but he never got it started. Says there is juice going into distributor but points ain't sparking. I can figure that part out. 12 volt / 6 volt has me puzzled. It has a 6 volt generator and starter. What do I need to do before I start the tractor? Will the 6 volt generator charge the battery? Will it hurt anything to start and run the tractor? Also should the 12 volt battery be positive ground? If it is not like that now would the few times it was spun over hurt anything? Does the generator need to be polarized? Thanks
I bought the tractor from a friend who is moving. He bought it a couple months ago when I bought my MM. The guy he got it from said starter has tape around it to keep dirt daubers out. It had been rebuilt. It spins fine.
