I recently purchased an old Allis-Chalmers M-100 Motor Grader. Noticed the amp-meter reads discharge instead of charge when the engine is running. Checked the batteries--sure enough they are hooked up with a negative ground.
According to the manual this is supposed to be a positive ground system. Question is what do I need to do other than reverse the cables? It is a 24 volt system with 2-12 volt batteries connected in series. Looks like the batteries are fairly new and I do not know how long it has been running with the electric system reversed. The machine has a generator and voltage regulator which are likely original equipment.
