Bob: You, John and Nat are quite correct. The proof came to me back in 1956. A then quite new 6 volt Farmall 300 parked at the edge of a 100 acre field and the Temp dipped to -40 overnight. My dad and I went there to get it as a storm was blowing in and tractor was going to be needed next morning to plow snow so the milk truck could get in. With choke out full, the 300 went urr----urr----urr and on that third one she fired up unassisted by any artificial means. We spent the next 5 minutes in the pickup, discussing who was going to do the 1/2 mile drive back to the farmstead. Actually that one probably got decided in the first 30 seconds. You know who got the honor.

The 300 was probably about 7 months old at the time. Since then I've always said any pre 1958 gas Farmall will start on 6 volts, anywhere there is arable land in North America, any month of the year, provided the electrical system is in good shape. One of the most common mistakes I've seen folks make with 6 volt systems, is buy those replacment cables for a 12 volt Honda Civic. 00 gauge cables are a must, with soldered on ends.
