The six volt systems were used on small equipment. As larger engines, higher compression and diesels were into introduced. Then of course 12 and 24V systems were used.
A "H" is a wee little machine, not a two cylinder diesel.
The factory 6V system will work if maintained and the engine is inshape/tuned. Sad to say this is rarely the case.
So now the frustrated operator reaches for the bigger hammer/higher voltage to treat the symptoms rather than the cause. How about repairing the electrical high resistnace connections, rebuilding the carb and engine faults?
1st off most batteries don't get charged. As some cheap skates trying to save gas by shuting off the tractor 3 times just to pass through a gate. Or have no brakes and need to shut the engine off in gear to hold the tractor in place.
Get a volt meter and set the voltage regulator for 7.2V measured at the battery posts with the engine at fast idle. Tinkers setting regulators via an educated guess leaves something to be desired.
All clean low resistance connections and 00 gauge welding cable with HD connectors.
Check the starter and ignition circuits with a volt meter.Something is wrong at less than 5.1 volts cranking.

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
