That ground wire is only to shut off a running tractor, Will run just fine without ground wire and just kill engine with the brakes or go up to mag with something like an insulated handle screw driver and just touch screw the ground wire fastens to and body of mag and it is shut off The ground wire is only so you can shut off engine without getting off tractor. Now if it would happen to be a distributor it would need 2 wires to the switch, one to switch to mag, other from battery s A grounding switch only has place for one wire as the mount for the switch serves to complete the ground from mag source to switch. Now if battery ignation then you need a power source from a battery and the H is supposed to be 6 volt positive ground to switch and then from battery to distributor. The owner sure does not know anything about the tractor and I dought if he ever heard it run not knowing any more than he does. We had a 41 H that Grandpa bought in 1948 and it did not have hydrolics, Granda passed away in 77 and we in about 78-79 added the hydrolics to it to operate the haybine And then in 84 traded it off on a bigger tractor. If he thinks it will not start because of a broken wire on tye mag I would wonder what all else is wrong with it. Always pulled a John Deere No.52 2-12 inch plow with it.
