Unlike an H or B or C etc., I cut guys a little slack (the dudes who wanna convert to 12 which I discourage) when it comes to starting an M at 6 volts.
Similar to what Professor Jim tells ya I advise:
00 Gauge Battery n Starter n Ground Cables
The ground to a heavy clean frame member using stainless hardware or even a 00 ground cable right at/on the starter versus any thin wimpy or rusty sheet metal

Hold your mouth to the right while cranking and I found it best to sort of milk them up over on compression one piston at a time versus just holding the starter down n letting her crank n grunt till the batterys is near dead.
