Somehow missed the write up on crawler cold starts. Read through it this morning and found it to be very informative. I have been using a 12 volt battery to start a '41 R2 Cat gas crawler that has a 6 volt starter. It starts very well even in cold weather. I am using a 31 series battery with jump assist and tank heater on the HD3 Allis and it is a little tentative. Is using 24 volts on a 12 volt system the same as 12 volts on a 6 volt starter? I have a big 6 volt battery I could use in a series with the 31 series battery to get 18 volts in the starting cycle. What do you think? Any and all thoughts are welcome.
