Jump Starting a 6 Volt off a 12 volt
I have a 1950 John Deere M with the original 6 volt system and it starts hard. It has a good battery, new battery cables, a rebuilt starter, new points condenser rotor and plugs. I have jump started it in the past off a 12 volt system and question if doing this is damaging the system in some...- Dave Cole

John Deere M Starter
Thanks for the advice. I had taken the switch off the starter and was connecting the NEG right to the starter. I will have the battery checked this week. I will also clean up the POS gnd connection. The starter has never been touched (brushes are the original) I will get a set and install them...- Dave Cole

John Deere M Starter
The starter was not turning the tractor over at all. I removed the starter, cleaned the area in and around the brushes and made sure it was lubricated. I bench tested it and it turns over nice seemed to have pretty good torque. I reinstalled it and it just barely turns the tractor over. Any ideas?- Dave Cole
