my 1942 h has a starter and a 6 volt battery period. no generator no regulators nothing,the 6 volt battery with a jump start barely turns it over and the cables are big, i've been told to put a 12 volt battery in it, will this starter handle a 12 volt also. also is it true that this is origonal equiptment and the battery never gets a charge.

My H was 6 volts, but did not crank it well, so I converted the tractor to 12 volts and use the 6 volt starter and it cranks over very well now.

did this tractor ever have a charging system

Someone either added a battery and starter to a no electric tractor or the rest of the system has been removed. If it had a battery and starter, it had a generator.

If it has a mag, and no lights or generator, you can use a 12 volt for a long time as long as it starts fairly easily. Keep a charger handy. 12 volts will not hurt the starter.
