Hey Gregg: A new 12V will go dead someday also. A New Group 1 6V with 625CCA @ 0 degrees F. will do a good job. Cables must be at least 1 Guage, and ends clean. Clean, solid connections. Your flywheel will last longer also.

My VAC starts great on her new 1,000 CCA Optima 6 volt. I have two now, one in my JD 70 Diesel. Clean up the starter, give it a good ground, and impress your friends with your 6 volt system.

The best place to read about them is on the Optima site.

Also, they are a gel-cell, spiral wound, maintenance free unit that you can mount upside down if you want. There is only one size in 6 volts.

No more drippy, oozing 6 volters for me.

i did not know they made a 1000 cca optima 6 volt battery. on any 6 volt tractor converting to 12 is last option. i wood have starter checked, make sure cables are heavy gage 6 volt cable with good ends. I think that 1000 battery is a bit overkill but it auto get it started. next does it charge????? Wayne J

Well, they only make the 6 volt unit in one size, but it does a nice job. I'm sure that 1,000 CCA at 10 below would not be turned down.

I like the maintenance free aspect.
