Hi Kurt, Yep it sure can be converted, many people have done it, some from a JD Electric start system designed for the same basic tractor plus Ive seen some practically home made and others from after market parts. Youre gonna need some healthy batteries and maybe convert all to a 2 wire 24 volt system, in which case youre gonna also need a 2 wire 24 volt generator and regulator and be able to run the 12 volt loads off one side or the other assuming you go with 2 twelve volt batteries of four six volters. Its quite an electrical challenge, but it can be done. Have you shopped for a rebuilt pony???? I sure prefer staying with the pony, even though it may cost more to rebuild than a rigged electric start conversion, because if you rebuild and maintain it properly, it will last for yearsssss sssss sss and start in the dead of winter where the electric wont. Good Luck n God Bless Ol John T Nordhoff

Kurt, the basic answer is yes... Depending on the tractor, [some diesels didn't have an electric start option] it will be expensive & a lot of work to convert. The tractor & accessories will probably have to be converted from 6 volt to 24 volt also. There are many different parts [not including just the basic starter & battery parts] that need to be changed to convert a starting engine diesel to electric start.
~There is another option & that is to install an aftermarket electric start conversion kit in place of the pony.
