Keeping the battery voltage is the key. Any way you can massage the battery and prolong its life. Like I said, sulfation is a result of a partial charge. When the battery is NOT fully charged, a heavy load like the starter will draw more amps, and because the Voltage will be LOWER your starter speed will be lower. As larger current is drawn as the battery voltage keeps dropping. Voltage is the speed at which power flows, while amps is energy flowing. Your starter drive did not fail because the battery was too big, but because of the voltage. A,smaller battery will have a lower load voltage, a little easyer on the six volt starter drive. Volt amps would probably show same wattage in your case, but the starter speed would be about twice as much. In this case speed kills! As you found out the result is short life. I do question the 40 degrees reading of you battery though. Assuming that the battery will produce another 10 % more amps @ 80 degrees F. The battery would test at 231amps @80degrees F.? Usually that battery is rated @235 amps new as I recall. If that is the case, One word can describe it AMAZING!!!!! @ Like John T says good sparking with you........

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
