My story is simple and requires no physics nor math explaining Ohms Law. I had a 4230DC with a 6 volt on the right, grounded to the engine block on that side with a 0 sized wire and another 0 strung across to another 6 volt on the left which continued on to the starter solenoid.
I replaced that with a 12v battery on the right side, plumbed across to the left side with 2 ea 00 wires connecting in parallel to the battery adjacent to the starter.
The negative of that battery went to and under a starter mounting bolt with another 00 since I had it handy after I pulled the bolt out and shined everything up real nice ensuring that the ground (-) lug was in good tight contact with the starter case.
The positive of that battery went with a fourth 00 over to the starter solenoid ⅜# copper input terminal.
As a result, the use of a starting enhancement mechanism, even on the coldest days was gone forever. I bought the batteries at a nearby OTR truck dealer who stocked heavy duty size 31S (S for ⅜" stud terminals) rated 925 CCA each....just bought another one from the same dealer this past week for a different tractor, with trade, farm tax exempt, 75 bucks.....that's US $ quantity 75! He had a skid full of them sitting right there in the lobby, probably 100 easily......volume purchasing as OTR trucks each use half a dozen (BTDT) means lower pricing for the purchasing public.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
