I have a Farmall 340 that the past owner converted from 6 volt positive ground to 12 volt negative ground. Typical conversion. But the tractor has a factory gas gauge and it wasn"t working when I bought the tractor. Pulled the sending unit from the gas tank yesterday to look at it and found the variable resistor wire had melted and burned part of the insulating board! I"m guessing the past owner sent 12 volts direct to that sending unit when he converted the electric system. Lucky the tractor didn"t start on fire. So, if you are converting a tractor"s electric system to 12 volts and it has a gas gauge, you might want to be extra careful.
