Tobacco Farmer: Mike is right, a good heavy 6 volt battery with 00 gauge cables will start that M any time your flesh is willing to brave the elements. Tractor starting and charging systems just require a bit of care and maintainence, a lot of folks seem to forget that. Somewhere up or down this page there is a guy having trouble with his 12 volt Farmall 300. I didn't chime in, however his problem is lack of care.
I have one 6 volt and two 12 volt Farmalls. They all require an hour or two of maintainence every 6 months. In fact I find the 12 volt tractors more troublesome than the 6 volt.
What most folks fail to realize here, is we have 2 issues, completely unrelated in my opinion. Frist one is 6 or 12 volt, and one can be every bit as successful as the other, on any 4 cylinder Farmall gasser. The second issue is generator or alternator charging, and the alternator is far superior, yet it costs about 1/3 to maintain and buy parts for as a generator. And YES, you can buy a 6 volt alternator, so why change coil, lights, etc.

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
