I have both. But then I repair all my own alternators, generators, and starters. To say that a M with high comp pistons will never have a problem turning over with a 6 volt battery is far fetched. I don't care if you run cables as large as your arm, the terminals inside the starter are never going to grow in size. Voltage drop is voltage drop, no matter where it occurs. It is the hot start that normally gets you in trouble. Fortunately, they normally only have to turn about one revolution to fire up. We at IH dealerships fought those hard hot starts for years until IH finally put the 450 gas on 12 volts in midproduction. Problem solved.......... I much prefer to also change the starter field windings to 12 volt but now days fields of any quality are really difficult to come up with. The ones the rebuilders use are normally sub par. When tractors are out there being used every day, things are not always perfectly up to snuff. In those cases, the 12 volt system will get you going more times than the six volt will. And, you can jump start it off most any other tractor or vis versa. I kept one H original just because I wanted to. It starts fine, but it doesn't have to do anything either.
