An 8 volt battery is nothing but an excuse.
Yeah, but if you want to keep the lights, starter, generator and just buy a battery, it's not a bad way to go. I had a S-55 Oliver and changed nothing but the battery. I had the tractor for several years and if I bought a 6V, it would last 2 years at best, but an 8v would last 4 years. That was the big advantage, not the added cranking power.
I have a 240U that has been changed to 12V. I haven't changed the lights 'cause I don't need them. The starter went bad and my "auto-electric" guy changed the field windings to 12v. because the starter would spin too fast and not catch the starter ring every time (just grind on it). If the previous owner had just installed an 8V, everything else would still work.
Problem is, 8v batteries are hard to find some times.
