Connect the positive terminal on one battery to the negative terminal on the other with heavy wire and battery clamps. Connect the remaining positive terminal to the metal chassis of the tractor, and run the remaining negative wire to the items to be powered, with any luck at all, through a fusebox.
There is a negative and positive charge between the clouds or the sky and the ground. The positive charge is attracted to the negative. So positive begins to charge up before basically attacking the negative which is the ground.
The force of gravity is positive; there is no negative gravity.
Batteries contain toxic materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and lithium. If disposed with the regular trash, these batteries can corrode and leak these hazardous compounds into the ground, contaminating the groundwater, once they are buried in the landfill.
the positive side, the negative side is usually just a ground
The side of the plug with the ground wire is or should be the negative and the side with just the center screws is the positive.
positive
It Depends. Is is a new style alternator? or old generator? if it was the old style generator on the tractor it will be positive ground. If it was the alternator is is negative ground.
Yes, this tractor has a positive ground system. It may have been retrofitted to 12 volt negative ground over the years though.
On a John Deere 4010 diesel with the generator, NOT an alternator. Put new batteries in and some how ended up with the left battery negative ground and the right battery positive ground.Ran for a day that way and then the next day the tractor wouldn't start. Dead big time. No lights either.I know NOW the tractor is suppose to be positive ground after my mistake. What did I fry by doing this? Battery, generator, lights, etc?
Not an answerable question Missing type of batteries, and application.
Most likely 12 volt negative ground. If a pre 1960's it could be 6 volt positive ground.
In a negative ground system, hook the vehicle ground (frame) to the negative of the first battery, positive of that battery to negative of second battery and the positive of the second battery back to vehicle positive. ( starter or starter solenoid) If you are hooking 2 12 volt batteries in series you will have 24 volts.
Take 3 twelve volt batteries Run the + of battery #1 to the - of battery #2. Run the + of battery #2 to the - of battery #3. Use the + of battery #3 for your positive feed, and the - of battery #1 for your ground.
Type your answer here... To use two batteries as a single power source, you have to connect the positive to the negative and the remaining negative to ground. The remaining positive goes to the red positive cable. The batteries are now in a series circuit. If you use two 6 volt batteries the total voltage is 12 volts. If you use 2 12 volt batteries the total voltage is 24 volts. If you hook the batteries both negative to negative and positive to positive you have made a parallel circuit. Batteries in a parallel circuit cancel each other out. Two 6 volt batteries in parallel have a total voltage of 0 volts. klb
Batteries are neither positive nor negative ground. It is the circuit itself that determines the common ground. For example: If I have two circuits, one needing 6vdc negative ground and the other needing 6vdc positive ground, the battery would be installed the same way in both circuits (positive terminal on the battery to the positive connection in the circuit, regardless of whether the circuit is positive or negative ground). The reason for labeling the ground as Positive or Negative has more to do with how the circuit is wired up, than the actual voltage source. The explanation for that is beyond the scope of this answer.
Thanks, the dude that's been restoring my car died and I didn't think he hooked it up wrong... I got a 50's Ford 8N tractor and it's positive ground as well
Your ignition switch may be on or something else like lights. If this tractor is old enough, it could also be a positive ground system.
