8 volt battery in 6 volt system?

Also, on the CASE SC, the battery sits under the gas tank. Tight place. Not sure if an 8 volt would actually fit in there anyway. I never checked the dimensions on the case of an 8 volt. It might not fit on some tractors. Just a thought ..

There is no such thing as a "good quality 6V" battery anymore, though. That's why I convert to 12V. An alternator and a good 12V battery costs less than a junk 6V that you have to replace every other year.

I've had good luck with the six volt tractor battery I bought for the 52 Mercury back in 2015. All original generator and ignition system. 8 years of use and still working. Never tried an 8 volt but I've heard it works well too.
