Just acquired a 1948 8n. While going over it I noticed that the ammeter was showing a negative charge when throttled up. Thought, ?Ok, wired are reversed?. So I opened the top and, WHAT, no wires running to ammeter posts! A small harness was attached to a clip on the bottom of the alternator but no electrical connection. Added to that the tractor has been converted to negative ground.
So, is it possible the ammeter is inducting current from the harness?
And the bracket attaching the alternator to the chassis touches both posts so how could I even wire the posts?
I?ve run wiring for accessories on off road vehicles but I?m stumped.
