When I got my SK, it already had a cheapo battery cable on it. It starts fine on six volts but the cable does get hot and I should replace it. One thing I had problems with is the mechanical switch on top of the starter. Take it apart and check the terminals inside and make sure they are clean, mine had some buildup on it from years of use. I also noticed that if the bolt holding all of this switch together is tightened, the terminal inside could rotate and then not make contact with the terminal that is pushed with the starter rod. So, I tightened everything with the switch off the tractor but connected to the battery. Then, I installed the switch with the two small screws and then connected the pivot and rod for the starter button. This fixed the problem for me. One thing I did just to try the starter was used a jumper cable to jump straight from the battery to the terminal on top of the starter with the switch removed. This took the switch out of the loop and allowed me to verify the starter worked okay.
