I need help. I am trying to help a retired neighbor who has this tractor. It has burned up all the wiring twice now. This tractor has an alternator. He says it was originally 6 volt and his uncle changed to 12 volt about 15 years ago. He says it is positive ground. I don't know why it started burning the wires, it was running good for all those years. The alternator has a two wire plug with a red and black heavy gage wire. Then a separate post with one wire. I read a previous post that said if there is an alternator, it must be negative ground. Is that correct? I have looked at many posts, Ferguson sites, wiring diagrams, but none showing 12 volt positive ground. I see a coil, 12v battery, distributor, amp gage, alternator, no resistor or diode, but maybe I've missed it, and a regulator that is not hooked up. Could someone provide me with proper + and - connections to each component so I can get this correct? Please help!
