I had kind of an interesting experience at a farm auction a few years ago. There was an 820 diesel that had the pony motor replaced with a steel plate to seal the top of the tractor crankcase. This steel plate had the correct flange welded to it to mount your typical heavy diesel 12V starter with the correct drive to mesh with the 820 flywheel ring gear. What really caught my attention was the little battery box beside the starter with what looked like a little group 22 car battery cabled to that big starter. When the 820's time came to sell the owner climbed up there to crank her up. To my astonishment,the thing cranked up easily. Granted,this was a spring day,but I would have expected it to need atleast a 900 amp 12V battery. A cold weather start likely would have changed the situation a lot.
