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.
