When I got my '49 H, it had a 6v battery in it. It has always turned over slower than I think it should during starting. I have used it for about a year this way. I few weeks ago I started tearing the H apart for a restoration. When I removed the voltage regulator from he generator, it had "12v" stamped on the bottom of it. The charging system has never worked, so I can not measure the output of the generator. It has a magneto ignition, so the engine doesn't care what voltage the rest of the tractor operates on. Do you think someone put in a 12v starter and generator at one point, and then the owner before me just put in a new 6v battery, thinking that it was correct? That would explain the slow cranking. I'm thinking of trying a 12v battery to see if it cranks at a more normal speed. If it is actually a 6v starter, will I damage it with a 12v battery??

I’m par
