Our BF has been very slow to almost impossible to crank, depending on the temperature, on 6-volts since it was new and the reason it was changed over to 12-volts (positive ground) many years ago. We tried an 8-volt battery back in the 60s when they were available, but even it wouldn't spin the engine as it should to start. Starting the tractor on 12-volts using the original 6-volt starter has been problem free for at last 20-25 years.
