I have used one of those "hold against" ammeters to measure current draw on starters, & most starters will pull 400 to700 amps on a 6 cylinder Diesel engine in cold weather. These ammeters are not very accurate, but give a rough indication for testing purposes. I always thought that a starter on a tractor or combine engine in cold weather was very close to a dead short on the battery. Cold weather will bring out the worst in cranking/ignition circuits.
