Thanks for all the help guys. I"ve tried the pre-heater a few times this summer, but seemed to drain to much from the battery to start. I"ve never tried using both either and pre-heater at the same time, allways seemed like a dumb idea, but thanks for the reminder.

I guess I"m a bit confused on which battery setup to use. If I use two 6 volts hooked inline/ parallel, that would make 12 volts. If I hooked two 12 volts together, wouldn"t that get me 24 volts? Wouldn"t that fry the starter? Are my thoughts correct? The tractor has only one compartment for one battery, the other compartment either rusted off or got broken off. Unless I go to the junk yard and try to find the other battery box, I think I"ll just stick to one BIG 12 volt. I didn"t check yesterday to see how many CCA this battery has. Can any electrical shop check/ reuild the starter, or should I find a electrical motor repair/ rewinding shop? Thanks again for all the help, and Merry Christmas to all.
