We live in Maine & have a 1942 Farmall A that I use from time to time. Last week we had a real cold snap & I had trouble starting it (turned over real slow), so, we pop-started it w/ another tractor. I pulled the 6V battery out & trickle charged it over several days. Today, i put the battery back in & had the same trouble...so, I took the 6V battery out of my 48" H & had the same result (wouldn"t start)....I"ve got 4 tractors w/ 6V systems, the other 3 still start w/ no trouble, this old A is being stubborn (but, it pop-starts almost instantly)...anyone got a guess how to get this tractor to start under it"s own battery? I cleaned the fuel bowl & cleaned my plugs, I"ve got snappy blue spark & good fuel flow. Time to pull the starter & have rebuilt? Like I said, it is turning the tractor over, just real slow...I don"t want to put a 12V in it, becuase once running, it does charge.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
