We've beat this to death.

But the attitude that 6v starters are somehow inadequate is just not true.

I ran my old 54 Chevy over 100,000 miles on 12v with no starter problems. All local trips.

All my working tractors are 12v M's and H's with 6v starters. Although I try to maintain my equipment, when the points get a little burned, a little water gets in the gas, the plugs foul, etc., they still get started and we don't worry about a little extra cranking until the batteries start getting cranked down.

The starters just don't burn up.
