FOR BEST RESULTS: If your engine is prorerly tuned(Ignition,valves,proper OIL for the season-temperture) the Tractor will Start and run without changing to 12 volts !!!. That said I use my 8N-b with the 6 volt system year round. It start on about the 3rd revolution with the chock on.T use 10-30Wt oil and live just outside Chicago in Valparaiso Indiana.Please read TIP #43 FROM The N-News Magazine BELOW:To jump start a 6 volt tractor with a 12 volt battery, put the tractor in neutral,block the wheels an turn the key on. Put one jumper cable on the stud of the starter (-) polarity . Standard wiring polarity is is(+) ground Double check this. Make sure the transmision is in neutral because when you place the other jumper (+) on the frame of the tractor thr STARTER will ENGAUGE and turn the motor over. This bypasses the neutral safety switch and the solenoid. The 12 volt battery will not harm the 6 volt starter unless you crank it for more than a minuate or so. HOWEVER if you jump the 12 volt battery directly to the 6 volt battery you stand a good chance of a battery explosion! I know I did this on a 6 volt !950 chevty truck. Reply if more ?'s
