Agree with buickanddeere on the "line running amps" thing. My newly acquired 4230 has 2 six volt batteries in series with one on one side of the tractor (grounded there) and wired to the other side picking up the second battery and the output of it connecting to the starter. Engine turns over slowly for a big diesel you want to start. Wire size looks to be 2 AWG (too small for me). Now on the other hand, I have 2 12v batteries sitting adjacent to my 24 volt starter on my 4010 (rig I made) and had the same type rig on a 4020 I previously owned. Use 00 wire and no piece is longer than 15". Now if you want to see a diesel start on it's own in the winter (30 degr) the 10 will do it; only cause it's spinning up.....naw, it's screaming. So, next year, I am going to pull out the 6 volt batteries and wire in 2 12v with parallel wiring, size 00 all the way. I know it will make a difference, but not equal the 24 volt rig. Is your starter still functional? I bought a 24 volt gen from the www (don't remember if it was from Walt's or not, may have been from an importer/exporter in New England). Anyway I'm recalling that it was around $85 and got a new regl for around $30 for my '10.....been a couple of years...had no problems since. You can redo the starting solenoid yourself by opening it up and doing some housekeeping on the big copper contacts. $ 539 is a lot of bread. I'd be inclined to think about it and do some lookin.

Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
