<div>Has anyone simply changed the diameter of the generator belt pulley to increase RPM's of the generator? If so did it help? </div><div><br></div>

International Harvester and John Deere are the only other brands
I have any experience with. I currently have both of those I
use and have no problems at all. I do not have an IH M, but I
remember they were marginal on cranking. 6 volt obviously not
enough. Same with John Deere A. 12-volt fixes both of them. 6
volt simply was marginal to begin with. As far as charging, I
am of the opinion it has to do with the generator's rpm and in
the case of the Ford, a cheap low output generator. 10 amp
generator would take all day at full speed to charge the battery
back up and I doubt anything other than brand new would put out
anywhere close to 10. Doing chores and such just won't do it.</p></div>
<p>I still run the Cockshutt 40 on 6 volts although I've got a
bigger than original battery on it. My brother fixed the starter
problem years ago by switching the body of another starter from a

<p>Massey combine onto the Cockshutt. It really improved the
cranking speed. If everything is working right they don't need a
lot of cranking to start anyway. You've likely seen the videos</p>
<p>of starting my 40 on some pretty severe cold days on 6 volts.
I've seen a guy start a FArmall M , about two turns of the starter
and it was running. I was amazed. <br clear="none">

<p>On the other hand I've got a Case DC4 that is impossible to start
on 6 volts. Or even 12. <br clear="none">
