1965 Ford 3000 Positive Ground

[Cliff204]

I am trying to replace the instrument cluster in my Ford 3000. All the packages I see for sale say they are negative ground. My tractor is 12 volt,positive ground. Will they work in my tractor or do I need to do something special? I have the stock generator with the tack drive on the back end.

It might be easyer to switch to negative ground, not a big job.

Your 1965 3 cylinder Ford 3000 left the factory with a 12 volt positive ground system.

Yup, your right. Just looked at it wrong. The negative cable goes down to the starter and connects to the ground there, the positive cable goes to the other side of the starter , to the solenoid. Sorry to take up valuable time with my mistake. Next time I'll look a little closer look before assuming.
