I have a 212 1U series grader with the D3400 and electric start pony.  Is this 6 volt system positive or negative ground?  I couldn't find any information in the parts, operator, or service manuals.  It has a cab and I would like to keep the heater and electrical system 6 volt and maybe add some lights.  I removed the old cables and forgot to make note if the larger post was on the ground or hot cable.

Hi, Folks.
Now I'm wondering, did Cat EVER make a positive ground electrical system on any of their machines?

Or was that a peculiarly English thing?

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
