Chassis return. Ground is the fault current carrying conductor on AC electrical equipment, water pipes, cattle stalls, water basins etc.

Yes,most tractor lights do. I remember when we were in high school. Neighbor kid was trying to put lights on his dads Massey. Made some nice wooden mounts in shop class then wondered why they wouldn't work. Oak's not a good conductor of electricity.

It does if you run a ground wire on the underside!
Got to feel bad for the poor kid. Been there, done similar.

He wasn't smart enough to run a ground wire.They'd ground through the nut now and then if he hit them.

Quit blaming the KID after all there was a Teacher watching over him and he should have told the kid that he needed to ground the lights. Where was the Teacher anyway out to lunch.

Walt, there is an old saying, it goes like this:
Those that can - do.
Those that can't - teach.
DON'T BLAME ME - I DIDN'T MAKE IT UP!

Not all teachers would know that most tractors have to have a metal mounting bracket to ground out on.... So even if the teacher was watching it doesn't mean it would have turned out any better...

There wasn't a teacher around in charge of this project. He just blended in and looked busy at it on his own.
