At the risk of repeating, there is no such thing as too much (size wise) battery cable or too much battery. Light duty car cables are a definite no-no. If you could build a nice side frame, go with an 8D battery and heavy 0 cables as short as possible with the proper heavy connections. This costs a few dollars, but is way cheaper than an engine rebuild,due to ether ignition). Proper motor oil like 5W-40 and a good block heater also go together. If the tractor is parked outside or in a cold building, throwing a blanket on top to keep the heat is very helpful. If parked in the wind, a block heater might not be able to supply any useful heat withoyt the blanket. The wind will cool the motor as fast as the heater will heat. Just some ideas from 30 plus years of starting tractors in winter. QR
