Low voltage will make even a 00 gauge wire get warm. Make sure your battery is able to deliver a good cranking amperage at 5 volts. It takes a long time to charge a good battey, longer for a poorer one. A 100 ampere hour would require 100 hours to completely recharge a dead battery at 1 amp charge rate and 10 hours at 10 amp rate. A couple hours of run time won't do the job weather on a charger or tractor. So many batteries get put to work at a partial charge stage. That being said, a good 6 volt battery and number 1 cables will crank an H just great if all is in good shape. I am betting your starter and switches, cables and connections and battery are all contributing to the problem. Also, don't over look ign timing. A tad too early will stop that engine dead with a slow rolling starter. I had a customer bring a starter for his 300 utility in many years ago, I repaired it, he brought it back, didn't do the job, went through it again still didn't start so he brought the tractor in on a trailer. While he was attempting to start it on trailer I heard it, went out and retarded the timing a little and it cranked like a dream. Put the light on it and timed it properly at full throttle , problem solved. One never knows what you will find. Also, some of those old H tractors ended up with a starter without a center bushing and that just doesn't work out on them. Mostly those were rebuilt units so one never knows what he is getting. Have put in a lot of center bushing plates over the years.
