[Farmall] #@%$& Cub Electrical Question

[Bigdog]

Mike,
    Just reverse the leads and re-polarize.  It'll be fine.  No wiring changes were necessary other than look at the coil primary leads (if it is battery ignition) and make sure the positive pole on the coil primary is connected to the lead that goes to the points.

  Subject: [Farmall] #@%$& Cub Electrical Question


  I acquired a Cub and was told that there was no generator on board. Low 
  and behold, after taking off the hood, there is a generator without a 
  belt. I took it off and had it checked and it is cranking out 9 volts 
  fine. I got a belt and the generator shop man gave me a new 6 volt 
  voltage regulator that had been on his shelf for years.

  After studying wiring diagrams I discovered that the Cub is supposed to 
  be positive (+) ground. The battery is hooked up negative (-) ground.

  I am just wanting to make sure I am doing the right thing since it is 
  obviously running negative ground OK. Should I just reverse the battery 
  leads, polarize the generator and go on? Or has something been done to 
  it to allow it to run negative ground?

  Thanks,

  Mike Atwell,
