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 - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
