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.
To connect 2 12-volt batteries in series to get 24 volts in a positive ground tractor, you would connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Then, connect the positive terminal of the second battery to the positive terminal of the tractor, and the negative terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the tractor. This setup effectively combines the voltage of the batteries while maintaining the positive ground configuration.
The quickest and best way is to look at the battery. If your positive cable (+) is going to the frame or body, positive ground. If the negative (-) goes to the frame or body, negative ground. I believe that a MF 35 is a neg ground system but use the check from above.
Most likely 12 volt negative ground. If a pre 1960's it could be 6 volt positive ground.
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
