[Ford-ferguson] battery charging

[Mike Sloane]

The Ford 8N originally came from the factory set up for 6 volts positive

point in the last 55 years. (This is also true of those green, red, 
gold, and purple tractors of the same era.)

consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn
of eternal peace.
