starter on farmall H

[bwstevens]

Even a nice sediment bowl can pass more trash than you would believe as for placement. I doubt the battery would get hot enough to bother the filter. Especially if it is in under the factory cover.

no factory cover on this one. it looks like it’s had its share of “updates” over the years. i will keep the filter, just move it closer to the carb. sparks are my concern. i’d actually like to relocate the battery to make it easier to jump, etc but i’m not doing anything until i get it running

 

[bwstevens]

Which starter switch is on it . The one on the column or directly on the starter and is it still 6 volts.?

 

[cub1961]

it’s a push button on column and 12v

 

[bwstevens]

Was the starter changed over or is it still 6 volts ?

 

[cub1961]

that i don’t know. i would guess it’s 12 but how would i tell? my son bought this a few years ago and it was already done

 

[bwstevens]

If it is still 6 volt it will spin the tractor faster than it idles. I have never changed a starter due to voltage. Does not hurt them.

 

[bwstevens]

Are you sure that the battery is 12v ? 6v will have three cells and 12v will have 6 .

Pull it off, it will start if it’s firing and getting fuel and air. I think I might have a manual for your H ? If you don’t have one, will check Sunday when I arrive home.

the battery is definitely a 12v. i bought a load tester and it shows the battery as bad even though it takes a charge. so i will buy a new one and clean out the bellhousing. i've had marvel oil in the cylinders for a couple days. probably won't get to this for another week or so. archery season and all.

i appreciate all the help
