o.k. i got an 'o' gauge cable on it now. runs to the bell housing. what is the way to run 2 from the ground post? or do you split the cable somewhere down the line and run 2 from there?
thanks mr. marlowe i appreciate it.

on the stuff we have with 24 and 12 volt as well we just run the - cable from the battery to the starter mounting bolt and the+ to what ever it has to go to in the system and a jumper - cable from engine or starter bolt to the main frame this way on older stuff that has rust on motor mounts you get a positave ground with the cables.we do this on all the older stuff because we had a payloader with a DD and it would not start well with it's own batterys turned over real slow some days but would spine over fast with jumper cables found out that the mounts would get rust in from sitting and would make for poor ground so i moved all my ground cables to the starter mounting bolt and then a jumper to the frame to ground the rest of the system.it has fixed starting trouble about 99.9%
