Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeOH, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did rig rig up the adjustable spark gap, ran the old IH coil both ways and I sure did prove a point! That b&d is DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
Connected originally as it was 6v pos ground , I got a neg polarity spark as expected & set gap screw to maximum that it would arc. Then, reversed battery connections on tractor & repeated and spark now has pos polarity and maximum gap setting that it will arc across is still same. So, same voltage just reversed polarity!!! Next, I reversed the two primary wires on coil & repeated and now I once again have a neg spark polarity, but the gap had to be closed inorder to obtain an arc. So, if you want the neg polarity, you have to give up spark voltage in exchange. Thus it is shown!
Circuit analysis had long ago shown this & except for those that haven't performed same, the imperical approach wasn't necessary or worth all the effor to disconnect, reconnect coil & generator (didn't want to re-polarize). Now, IF it is really important to you about those couple hundred volts & neg polarity (that is, you want tnem BOTH), then you can purchase a coil for a tractor that was factory Neg ground & it will have the correct winding sense (primary rel to secondary) to provide BOTH the higher voltage AND correct polarity.
So, what is your escape route now b&d???

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
