change to 12volt

merle	I have 1951 case va.idustrial tractor,that I changed over to 12 volt and now the tractor will only run for a few minutes and turns off.I,ve changed the coil and condenser,but don't know if I have the resister in the right place.I also don't know if I have the ampmeter wired right. I need help or someone who wants to buy a tractor.I will be greatful for any info that will help. thanks merle swanton,ohio
bontai Joe	My first thought is to switch it back to 6 volt, which would probably eliminate the problem. I personally don't know enogh about electrical stuff to be of any help, but I'm sure someone will pop in with an answer. Best of luck with your tractor
John M	Resistor should be between the switch and the coil, or get a regualr 12 volt coil that doesnt need a resistor. When it runs, if the gauge reads to the discharge side, swap the wires on the back of the gauge.
