WHEN YOU CONVERT TO 12 VOLTS THERES TYPICALLY LESS NOT MORE CURRENT DRAW i.e. it dont hurt to have bigger cables n even smaller can get you by.
Its NOT gonna hurt if your battery cables are a lil too big, but can indeed if too small. I recommend use of at least 0 better yet 00 gauge battery n starter n ground cables on 6 volt systems to lessen cable voltage drop n cuz at that lower voltage youre gonna get high current draw from a starter. On 12 volt theres typically less starter current draw so one can drop down a size or two like 1 or 0 butttttttt its sure NOT gonna hurt if you have larger cables. NO problem for 0 or 00 on a 12 volt system provided they can physically fit where needed, although one sees a lot of 1 (or even 2) gauge around, I still prefer at least 1 or bigger myslef at 12 volts.
Even at 12 volt I still like big heavy honkin batteries like 900 to 1100 CCA and I use the felt washers under the battery posts plus spray with that red battery terminal coating stuff. I dont like grounds to any thin wimpy or rusty sheet metal but prefer a good to frame bolt elsewhere. Clean tight shiny bright conections at alllll battery n starter n switch/solenoid n ground connections is a MUST.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
