In Reply to: Battery Cables posted by Bernie Steffen on December 16, 2009 at 16:27:25:
Bernie, My friend and fellow sparkie Bob M had this discussion a while back, heres our thoughts as I recall.
1) Since 12 volts on a 6 volt tractor can be a bit tough on starter drives, I suggested use of a smaller less CCA battery to soften that blow somewhat.
2) Then Bob M says heyyyyyyyyy I still like a big heavy honkin batetry in case its colddddddd so he suggested in that case to use smaller cables (which can drop more voltage)
On 6 volt I like 00 gauge and at least 1 gauge on 12 volt so take Bob or my suggestion (smaller cables or smaller battery) if youre worried about premature starter drive failure. HOWEVER heck it will still work okay either way with either size of cables, we sparkies tend to overanalyze these things lol
