In Reply to: 6 volt +gnd coil replacement question, 4 to 3 wire posted by Xyphor on July 08, 2011 at 19:54:21:

I see so many get all CORNFUSED about Pos Ground, but stop n think for a moment !! As far as the battery and the load device (coil, lights etc) THERES NO DIFFERENCE.

IT DOESNT MATTER ELECTRICALLY (not withstanding alternators that MUST use the iron as the - battery connection as their case/frame is one of their conduction points) WHICH ONE OR THE OTHER BATTERY POST JUST HAPPENS TO BE TIED TO A HUGE HUNK OF RUSTY OLD IRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The iron is simply used as the current carrying conductor instead of having to run 2 wires everywhere, use the hunk of iron as the wire instead.

For example, if a coil is CORRECTLY wired to a tractor that happens to have the hunk of iron tied to the battery POS post (called Pos Ground) the coils - gets to the UNGROUNDED battery - post (via wire and ign switch),,,,,,,,,,and the coils other + post gets eventually connected to the batterys + post via the points when closed and distributors atatchment to frame (which is tied to + on battery) NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW on a Neg ground tractor GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!! The coils - gets to the battery - via closed points and distributor frame ground while the coils + gets tied to the ungrounded battery + via the ignition switch ITS THE SAME GUYS, THE COIL - TO BATTERY - AND COILS + TO BATTERY + REGARDLESS WHICH BATETRY POST IS TIED TO TEH HUGE HUNK OF IRON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get it?????????????????

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked ...
