[Farmall] Battery Question

[E. John Puckett]

As has been stated, you charged it correctly, but something is drawing 
current when you hook it up.  Look for a shorted wire form old 
insulation, lights on, or maybe even a stuck contact on the regulator or 
cutout, depending on which you have.   Whatever is drawing current is 
probably why the battery went dead in the first place.

When I charged it, I put the positive cable from the charger to the positive side of the battery, and the negative to the negative side.  Being it has been positive ground, would this have made a difference.  The reason for asking is now that I'm re-installing it on the tractor, I'm getting arching while hooking up the ground.  Any thoughts??
