This is probably the looniest idea/question I've come up with.
I have a Farmall H. Its in my list of things to restore, but its a few pegs down in the line up.
The starter is bad, so I use a hand crank to get it going. At the present time the Generator is not working either. So when I run it to move it I have take a battery to it. No big deal, as its not a tractor that I'm using.
I like to start it from time to time for the fun of it, so that time to time gets extended to when I feel like lugging a battery and cables around.
I have another farmall H that is restored and I know that it doesn't charge much at idle, apparently that's pretty common.
The unrestored H Starts pretty easily with a battery hooked to it. 6 Volt System by the way.
So this is what I was thinking. If I fixed the generator and got it to charge, (I want to learn to do that anyways, I've got another one to do as well) could I use a 9 volt battery, you know the small one in a smoke detector, to get the tractor running and then when it reached the correct RPM for the Generator to provide a charge then disconnect the battery.
So, with that said, I'm basically using the small 9 volt battery in providing power to the distributor to get the tractor to fire at the lower RPM and get it to the operating speed the generator needs to provide juice...
So what do you all think. There are probably reason's why this won't work, and I'm just not knowledgeable as to why. There are probably reasons some of you won't run a tractor without a battery. I've heard something about that before.
