[AT] 6V and 12V batteries

[Dean VP]

Dean,

Just remember that you typically get more CCA or AH rating with two 6v
batteries than one 12V battery.  However that statement can be proven wrong  
by not buying quality 6 V batteries.

Well, duh, don't I feel like a mechanical genius...  I even knew
specifically that it was 12 volt since I'd double-checked that the
series-vs-parallel wiring on the batteries was correct.   Just didn't
penetrate the correct part of my brain, I guess.

Likewise, Ron.   The gentleman I bought it from wasn't giving it away but I
was happy to pay a good price for it since I needed a tractor with 3-point
and live pto, and couldn't imagine finding something more durable for the
money.   Plus it sure feels and sounds nice to use this classic old tractor.
