dsmreaper 7 #1 Posted 6 hours ago So, I had to do some terminal work, basically I needed to install shims on the top post terminals as they were tight but still loose, any who, after I began I noticed the positive of the battery was hooked strait to the frame!!! Does that mean my tractor(67' 1077) is what they call a positive ground? Anyone have diagrams on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 20,056 #3 Posted 6 hours ago (edited) It is possible that some PO really messed up. But as long as he switched the wires to the coil and you have an S/G that gets polarized when you start it ... it may work. I know regulators are sometimes listed as + or - grd. but they still sometimes work.... Is the small + terminal on the coil hooked to the ignition switch or is it hooked to the points and condenser.
