I just finished up converting my last tractor to 12 volt. Never had a hot start problem but did have -30, no wind chill start problems!

I'm kinda with the other guys on this. If the Mag is the problem you can convert to 24 volt and it isn't going to fix the Mag. It's just like a rope start lawn mower. A mag produces it's own electricity to make spark. When you turn the engine off you are grounding the system out. On a push lawn mower the throttle on the engine contacts a wile and ground is. On a garden tractor with a mag ignition the key switch ground out when turned off and on old tractors like the H the push/pull switch grounds it. Really old system had a spring steel contact mounted on the mag or on one lung engines by the spark plug that you pushed to a contact or the plug to kill it.

Try trouble shooting the system. ID what is wrong and fix that. Throwing parts at something can get real expensive real fast.

You can find many post on here about converting and everyone is for or against it. If you have low compression a conversion may make it start better but you still have low compression. Don't use a conversion as a band aid to cover up another problem.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
