I'am putting a diesel in a BN Farmall and using the farmall starter-- it turns quite well but it is not going to turn it fast enough to start - the batt is only 550 cc-amps will a 900 cc-amp do the trick? or will i need a high tourque stater of some sort? thanks in advance for all info!!

What is the Diesel out of? What about a starter that is for that Engine. Are you going to install block or hose heater?

12 volt vs. 6 volt makes a big difference!

I think you out smarted yourself! If I read the lower posts correctly, you are installing a car engine, which had a much smaller diamiter flywheel/ringear. No way can the original
tractor starter spin the car engine fast enough with the muich higher starter/ringear ratio that the tractor had.

More CCA will do nothing but make the start spin longer but not faster. Increase volts you increase RPM increase amps you increase how lot it will spin

A 6v starter on 12v will crank hard and faster. But The starter is not nearly as robust as is needed for cranking a diesel. Have a machine shop convert the car"s starter to use the mount and drive from the tractor. It might start a few times with a 4cyl gas engine starter, but I would not depend on it. Jim
I will try to answer a few of the ?"s -- the flywheels were exactly the same diameter--i do have a 6 volt starter to try -- i will look at converting the diesel starter-- has glow plugs that work very well for cold starts and has a block heater-did I miss anything?

Could be- til you get it fired up. The flywheel has to be balanced to the crankshaft. If you are using the B's original flywheel without re-balancing it, it is going to have harmonics that can shake the tractor and bust the crank.
