LOL, what Bruce isn't telling you is that with everything perfect in the system, fairly new fully charged 6 volt system will be difficult to start when it's -30F and the wind chill is bringing it down to -50F and the tractor sits outside. Heck old point systems factory 12 volts engines can be a bear to start in temps like that. My first vehicle was a 6 volt 51 Chevy truck followed by a 50 Chevy 4 door Deluxe.

Dads AC CA with a good charging system, good engine and rebuilt magneto was a bear to start below about 10. That darned thing was so bad that dad just kept it plugged in when he wasn't using it because he needed it every day. My 8N didn't like anything below -10F. With the 12 volt it starts right up down to -25F (coldest it's been sense I converted. I'm sure the engine overhaul helped but now it pops right off.
