She roared to life today under her own power. Thanks for all the replys I got from everyone. I found a couple of different problems that where giving me trouble. The old cables where very bad. Have 0 gauge flex welding wire now with heat shrink over the ends to keep out moisture. When tractor was repainted last they didn't mask off the connection on the starter or the switch or for that matter even the ground was paint covered.Got those areas all shiney clean now. When I put it all together....nothing. I new it couldn't be the battery cause I just bought it last week. You guessed it. I couldn't even get a spark out of the batt. with a screwdriver. Put it on the charger for 3 hours,that's as long as I could wait.I wonder how long a 6v battery sits on the self before it gets a home? Now it's zoom zoom zoom. I'm loving it. It started on about 1 revolution. Next Saturday I will be on here asking Bob M and the rest of you guys about diagnosing the generator and charging system. My other 2 tractors have alternators so this is all new to me.

Dad bought a 'C' back in '77. We could never get the starter to roll over. Had the starter off and checked and even changed the battery. Still nothing. In the summer it would sit outside on a bank to coast start it otherwise 9 out of 10 tries it had to be jumped started. Ran great once it started. Finally, I changed the cables and hooked the ground cable to the hydraulic housing. Hit the starter and it spun over like I put 12 volts to it. It sat for a couple of years with a bad rim on it and since I had my 'H' and '300' we really didn't need it. Found a rim for it went down put a good battery in it and it popped right off.

CONGRADUATIONS AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RED. there are many prior entries in the archives, just search for "generator" and see what is already in the mix.
