Im NOT a fan of the 8 volt band aid approach as its unusual and batteries are expensive n harder to find. If it has a heavy duty high CCA rated 6 volt battery (biggest that will fit in the box) and 00 Gauge battery n starter n ground cables and the starter is good she ought to crank satisfactory.
Butttttt that being said and its your tractor to do as you please, if you go the 8 volt route Id still use 00 Gauge cables.
Voltage Regulator, it depends on the model you have and if it has a voltage regualtion or combo voltage/current regulation or its just current regulation (it may be 2 or 3 coils). SOME (not all) VR's can be adjusted up so she will charge an 8 volt battery satisfactory, others maybe not so easy.
IF IT WERE MINE AND I WAS GONNA HACK IT UP ANYWAY, ID GO AHEAD N GO WITH A 12 VOLT CONVERSION AS ITS EASIER N MORE STANDARD AND PARTS AND BATTERIES ARE CHEAPER N READILY AVAILABLE (plus no jury rigging or adjusting the VR is necessary)
