On a whim (because my 6 volt battery was dead and I happened to have a brand new 12 volt battery and a good 12 volt coil laying around) I switch my C over to a 12 volt system yesterday. The battery I have came out of a Ford Taurus, I think. I could have been out of an escort ZX2. Anyhow, it didn't fit inside the battery box, so I took the box off. Now, it doesn't fit in between the tank and dash, unless I turn it sideways.
So, I was wondering if anyone had an Advance Auto Parts, or Napa number for a smaller sized battery that most closely resembles the 6 volt battery that I had in there.

My battery box had the bottom rusted out of it, and someone welded a piece of steel in there before I bought it. Originally, did the bottom of the box have some special feature(like indentations) to accomodate some nuts welded into the bottom? When I got it, it had bolts with nuts so that the box could not be removed without removing the battery, which meant that I had to take the gas tank off, to remove the battery. That is a pain in the butt!
Looking back, I guess it would have been easier to tow the tractor up to the garage and plug in the charger, rather than remove the gas tank in the 10 degree weather.

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
