When did Farmall stop making tractors?
During the 1940s and 1950s, the brand was ubiquitous in North American farming.

Look at the battery. If the cable attached to the “minus” terminal goes to the engine block or frame, it is negative ground. If the “plus” cable goes to ground, it is positive ground. If your 600 has not been converted to 12 Volt it will have a positive ground.
