[Farmall] Re: Next question..+, - ground

[James Moran]

DL-
  1.  Reverse the battery installation and the meter should read + measurement.
  2.  MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY...am I to understand that you own a  Vincent motorcycle?  It doesn't happen to be a Black Lightning  with a speedometer the size of a pie plate?  If this should be the  case, please provide me with your address.  I will be over  promptly to steal it. ;-)
  Please share!!!!  Where are the images?

Hooked everything back up and fired it up. Forgot to polarize 
generator/regulator. Runs fine (needs some carb adjustment as it "hunts" at 
lower rpms). It looks like the ammeter is indicating  in reverse? Should I 
leave it the way it is and just polarize as neg ground or should I 
disconnect electrics and go back to stock polarity (neg ground) and polarize 
that way? My H20 gauge does not work as well..polarity caused?
Bear with me folks. Like someone else on the list I am in insurance business 
(pretty much desk jockey) and am not by any means a mechanic or mechanically 
inclined. I like tractors as they seem more simple than my classic 
motorcycles. Plus they are much more fun at 5mph than a Vincent will ever 
be.
Thanks in advance,
