Farmall BN: Positive Ground?

Posted by spf150 on October 14, 2012 at 12:12:36 from (69.205.216.45):

I've got a '47ish Farmall BN that I'm trying to get going. Does this tractor use a positive or negative ground? Found a wiring diagram online that shows it as a positive ground but when I first got to the tractor the battery was hooked up with the positive running to the starter.

I've gone thru the wiring and compared it to the diagram and it seems that it is still wired up the correct way.

Assuming it is a positive ground, did I damage anything by trying to start it with a negative ground? :oops:

Thanks for the help!
