I have a 52 JD R the pony is shot..I was wondering has anyone seen or heard of putting eletric start on one...or the v4 pony motor I have a v4 one...but if possible would rather go eletric...I have a starter off a 350 cummins was wondering if I could just make a bracket put a few big 12v batterys on and see what happens...would like some feed back please

Do yourself a favor and either fix the pony you have, or find a good one to replace it with. The V-4 idea isn't workable, and while you could probably cobble up some kind of electric starting system, it's not worth the effort, time, and money it would take. Don't butcher up your tractor, preserve its value by keeping it as Deere built it.

In one of the magazines, Green or Two-Cylinder, there is a fella advertising a bracket ans starter to convert 70's/720's/730's to electric start.

Don't know what mods would need to be made to the bracket to adapt his starter, but you might want to check it out.

What's wrong with the pony ? I really like the osund of a well tuned pup cranking up a 2-cylinder diesel !
