In Reply to: Clean terminals? posted by showcrop on April 11, 2017 at 04:12:49:
I wish I had read this before I posted a question this morning! I have a similar problem but since the battery is brand new, I assumed the terminals were fine. That was a mistake, I see now. I have not looked at the connections on the starter yet but will now go check tonight. I'll take what you said and go check it all out and it sounds like the problem will be easy to correct. Thanks!
FYI -!Here's what I originally posted:
I have a 1949 Farmall H that is having trouble starting. It responds very sluggishly and only turns over a rotation of two at a time. It will eventually start after I have pushed and held the switch maybe twenty times. The switch (and cables to it) become almost too hot to touch before it will start and they will actually smoke if I try too many times. Once it starts, the switch and wires cools down. Although I am planning to switch it over soon to 12 volt, it is still a 6 volt system with the positive ground. The battery is brand new also. I am looking for any suggestions or was wondering if anyone else has had this problem before. Perhaps a bad ground? Or am I losing voltage across a bad starter? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
