- This video shows the method I use to jump start my old tractor that has a 6 volt starting system, using a 12 volt battery. Since I recorded this I have figured out that the generator is not working, at least not well enough to keep the engine running. I guess I will be doing the 12 volt conversion for sure now.
Hi Thx for posting this. I just got a 52 Studebaker with a 6 v system. I think the + on the battery goes to the generator, what I think is the ground (- negative) now a days on 12v cars. I need help to learn how to jumpstart it with my Toyota Camry. Can you guide me please?
Camry: keep the motor turned off. Step 1. Put red cable on +, black on - or ?
On Studebaker … Step 1. What do I keep connected to the 6 v battery? Step 2. do I Connect red jumper cable to starter? Or to where? Step 3. Where do I connect black jumper cable? Step 4. Turn key on Studebaker and press floor button to start it. Step 5. Disconnect which cable first from Studebaker ? Step 6. Re connect which cables to battery on Studebaker? Step 7. Disconnect cables from Camry and start it to let it regenerate. Please help. Thx aly
Did you ever find out how to jump start your car?
Thanks
Whoa... Did I catch that correctly? Is yours negative ground? Mine is positive ground.
Yes, negative ground. I was surprised to see that when I got it.
@@davidjfiedler why tge difference?
Hopefully the 12 volts didn't get into the 6 volt battery..
It can’t. The positive wire goes to a push button on the dash. The circuit isn’t made through the battery in this setup.
@@davidjfiedler oh very nice. Nice thinking
mine Is positive ground also. will polarity matter?
Yes it does. Both ways work but everything needs to be same, whichever you have.
+David Fiedler for positive ground you should be able to reverse the jumpers on the tractor side.
kewl, i just got a hell of a deal on a non running cockshutt. (first tractor ever owned) got points cleaned, new plugs in it and drained fuel last night. Plugs spark now! Cleaning carb out tonight. Just need a better better 6v battery. the one I have is weak & barley turns it over. No money for new one yet. I'm glad I learnt about the positive ground thing cuz I would have bet money if someone told me about this before.. I would have said yur cray cray man! lol
Glad I could help. Once you learn more about these old tractors you might want to convert to 12 volt. I have a few videos up about converting this one to 12v.
yea i'm planning on it down the road. I want to get a 12v deep cycle in it so I can slave it to my solar system in my pole barn for extra battery reserve through the night. I think that would be kewl! help run my lights, electric fencing & keep the battery tip top. Peace out
