FSMD change + gound to - ground

1962 FSMD with original generator & voltage regulator. All of my other tractors are negative ground. Can I just change this from + ground to - ground without changing anything else in the generator/regulator system? Thanks.

No. Not difficult though. You'll need to 'Flash' the dynamo to repolarise it, and from memory the ammeter will work back to front. The starter will repolarise itself.
