[AJD] Stupid questions 6v vs 12v B

[Tyler Juranek]

Hi Paul,
 If my memory is not mistaken, I think the late b tractors used 2 6
volt batteries. Later on, farmers just put 12 volt batteries in them,
so one would just have 1 12 volt. But, I warn you, don't turn on the
lights if they're 6 volt.
 I learned that the hard way...
 Hope this helps!
 Tyler
