forgot to ask is this a 12 or 6 v system thanks

Originally it would have been 6 volt positive ground.

 

[Jerry Coulter]

The gas tractor was 6 volt, the diesel was 12 volt.

 

[rvirgil_KS]

It came from factory 6 volt positive ground. Could have been converted to 12 volt positive or negative ground with a generator or 12 volt negative ground with an alternator. If properly done, any one of those configurations will work.

Do you have alternator or generator?
Are you running 6 or 12 volt battery?
Is the coil wired with + or - post to side of distributor.

Just because it came from factory positive ground does not mean it must stay that way.

i got to the tractor weds, it is hooked up as a 6v pos ground, but the cable is a 12v piece of crap, will get a 6v cable/strap to put on, i also disc the genny wires till i get the start problem fix. then i may need advise on how to polorize flow of genny.
