[Farmall] Starting 340

Folks,  Perhaps you can solve my problem.  My Farmall 340 (gas) has always 
been a reluctant starter.  I had it overhauled a few years ago and have 
only about 100 hours on it.   It is 6-volt.  Whenever I go to start it, it 
barely turns over and then usually starts.  I put a new battery on it 
recently, and same problem.  Always acts like it will barely turn over. I 
disconnect the battery whenever I shut it off (have a couple of quick 
disconnects on it). 

Where should I start looking first, second, third, etc.   I think I have 
fairly heavy duty cables from the battery to the ground, etc. (it is a 
positive ground system). 

Thanks in advance.
