gene: Your absolutely right, how does he think we started them way back when. 6 VOLTS was the answer. I remember once my dad and I had left 6 volt Farmall 300 at far end of the farm. Overnight the temperature dipped to -40. We proceeded to go and get the 300, as there was threat of snow that night and we needed tractor for plowing snow so milk truck could get in.

On the way dad said, "it's not really going to snow and I hope the 300 doesn't start". Well it did start unassisted by any starting aids. Guess who got to drive the 300 the 1/2 mile back to the dairy barn? There is really no reason why a pre 1958 6 volt Farmall will not start anywhere there is arable land in North America, if that 6 volt system is well maintained. 12 volt is going to require maintainence also. This Farmall H is not some modern day automobile he only keeps 5-6 years.
