Well, it doesn't have lights so I don't have to worry about burning those out...
I was jumping the starter directly.. I read in another thread about how to jump a 6v system with a 12 battery (go direct to the starter)..
Now the monkey wrench.. It has a magneto.. and I've never owned a vehicle with one.. even our 63 galaxie had a distributor with a generator so a mag is completly new to me.
I found a book on the magneto listed on ebay (sold through someone who makes/sells dvd on rebuilding and tuning up a farmall H).
I see if I can trace the wires around and see what is connected to what. I know its not exactly stock though but it does still have the ammeter. The run/stop switch is now a toggle switch (up is run).. The starter switch is a low amperage switch that is connected to a starter relay. The wire from the battery to the relay is a normal 12v car type but the wire from the relay to the starter and the wire from the battery to the chassis are the bigger wires. I plan on changing those and I'd like to put in the orig style starter switch and run/stop switch.
From what it sounds like, since it had a 6v battery in it before it is more than likely still 6v and not 12v and the polarity can be either way other than the ammeter would read backwards which is an easy fix.. flip the battery around or fix the wires at the mag, regulator and ammeter.
