Hey guys, my parents have a 40 farmall H that I'm trying to get running for them. They have a farm and have been without the tractor for years now. I guess my dad didn't do his research on the tractor when he bought it and messed up a lot of the electronics for it. He didn't know it was a 6v pos-earth system I guess.
So far, I've gone and rewired the whole beast and plan to convert it to 12v neg-earth. I have the alternator already fabbed up and installed now I just need some help with the coil. Initially, my dad told me that it was missing the coil and so I did my research and ordered an ignition coil(12v) and it turns out that it is in fact not missing an ignition coil, but a magneto coil. Is there any way to convert it from the magneto coil to the ignition coil that I have already ordered and even received now? I'd really rather not have to send it back and get the magneto.
Thanks for any help guys!
