I measured the 6V battery at 6.2 volts then pushed the copper starting button and the starter motor turned dog sloooooow.
Never tried starting a 6 Volt Farmall M before, always have converted them to alternator and 12V.
A dead 12V battery was removed from the tractor before they put on the 6V and we tried to start it.
I have lots of questions. The tractor is indeed a 6V system, has the generator, super huge cables, etc.
Does hooking a 12V battery up to a 6V starter make a lick of difference? Would it damage the system?
I mean I am guessing it at minimum has a blown fuse in the fuse box for the light switch. But can the 12V battery damage other parts of the system?
Needless to say the tractor did not start.
What would cause a starter motor to turn so dang slow?
It was 55 degrees out, so the oil and block were not to blame.
Thanks
