You are saying that the secondary (high tension) polarity is dependant upon the the ground plane of the tractor regardless of which pole of the coil was wired to the switch or the points, I'll buy that. What I need to confirm in my own mind, is this: I know that electrons flow from - to +, hence in a positive ground system, it seems to me that electrons build up on the point (electrode) of a spark plug, and once then reach a high enough potential, will jump to the positively charged (grounded) tang. If the above is true, what is the benefit to a negative ground system? Seems to me that would mean that the entire frame of the tractor is teaming with free electrons looking for a place to jump to given sufficient difference in potential. In the same vein, which way does lightening strike? If the earth (ground) is negatively charged, lightening should strike UP, right? Or is it ionization in the clouds that create the free electrons that then build up the potential to jump DOWN?

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
