old said: (quoted from post at 13:31:03 01/22/08) Well its about 15-20 out right not. I went to start my Oliver S88 and it started and died and will not start again. I then tried an 8N ford thats also 12 volts and it will not start. Well just for the heck of it I tried the Case SC which is still 6 volts and it turned slow but after a few turns started right up and just purred. So the morale of the story is this. If every thing is as it should be a tractor will start up on 6 volts even when cold so why switch to 12 volts unless you just have to because of other problems
Old - I think both the Ford and the Oliver have, as you said, 'other problems' keeping them from running.
So, does the SC have a mag on it? If you have a 6 volt rig with a coil & distributor that just barely turns over in the cold the starter will be taking so much juice that the coil ain't gettin' enough to fire the plugs but with the mag you still get the fire ...... Roger?? A 12v will turn the starter faster and will still have enough to fire the plugs, in my experience .... it's all about Volts x Amps = Watts, or some such. :wink:
