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 - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
