Granger, Assuming that your battery is good, and your starter is good, that battery cables and good connections are one of the most important variables in a good starting system. I like using 0 gauge welding cable with soldered ends to the starter, and the woven cable to ground. The reason I prefer the welding cable is that the wiring itself is copper and has small strands which when the ends are soldered conducts electricity through the whole cable. When simply crimping or bolting the cable ends, you get juice through the outside strands of wire, but the center strands conduct very little if any electricity. Welding cable is also very flexible compared to standard battery cable. Woven ground cables also use fine gauge wiring whith soldered ends which make for a better ground when connected to a clean, bare surface on the frame of the tractor. I"m not opposed to 12 volt conversions, but these tractors were designed to start just fine with 6 volts, and do if all the components are correctly in place.
