Some here won't agree with what I'm about to say, but it's true. Both my Jubilee and Farmall C have rebuilt engines with good compression. Both tractors were converted to 12v. After shearing off 2 starter drives on each tractor, I replaced my Jubilee's starter with a 12v starter. It not only damaged the starter drive, it sheared off a tooth on the starter ring. No 12v starter available for my Farmall so I replaced the 12v battery with my oldest lawn mower battery and used 10g wire instead of battery cables. End of damaging starter drives and chipping off starter ring teeth. I'm only able to do this because the Farmall has a magneto and produces a hit spark.
So if you have converted to 12v and have a rebuilt engine, be ready to replace a lot of starter drives and teeth in the winter.
I used a magnet and fished out many pieces of broken starter drives out of my Jubilee's bellhousing.
Is your starter a 6v starter and you converted to 12v?
