51 Ferguson TO30. All original 6 volt system. New battery 6 months ago. Fully charged today.
It has always turned over very slow, even for 6 volt. Battery cables need changed out to proper size, and positive ground relocated to the block.
Question, it gets hot and smokes from the starter switch on top of the transmission, after cranking for 20 to 30 seconds. Only the stud going to the battery gets hot. The battery lead going from the starter switch to the starter never gets hot at all.
Any thoughts on what is happening and the fix?
Thank you, John
