I know the two big tractors are 12v.They both came with 6v batteries wired in series to make 12v.I the ran 00 cable from the positive side of both batts to the stater and 00 cables from the neg to mnt bolt on starter.I then did the same thing on 4020 had the rebuilder I use make a 12v starter and alt and simply used relays to put the headlights on all two 12v circuts.(Old system ran half lights off each battery).It is unbeileivable the amount of reserve they now have and the increased starting rpm.On those occasions when we need one and it hasnt been plugged in youreally apprecieate being able to turn the motor over a few more times to build heat and start it.I did take alot of extra time and hid the wires and did a nice sanitary job.I use my tractors and have to have reliabilty of starting.I realize I have altered them but the chances of me or my kids selling them are slim.(cannot afford replacements).Just my opinion and what works for me.Steve
