Hi, I have a John Deere 420w 1957. I just changed it over to a 12volt negative ground system from a 6 volt positive ground system. When I turned the switch on the volt meter started to work. but then quit working. I checked the pole on the back of the ignition switch where I hooked the hot wire too, and I am now getting no juice to that pole ( connection ). Could I have cooked the ignition switch putting 12 volts to it? No one has ever mentioned changing the ignition switch to 12 volts . If anyone has any ideas, please let me know what may have happened. At one point when I was moving the switch from on to off and back. It would not shut off. Now it will do nothing. I appreciate any and all information and help I can get. thank you in advance.
