I know it's been on here many times but I cant remember. What size wire do you all like for 6 volt?
Oops. Battery cables. SV got it.. thank you.(quoted from post at 18:47:26 10/30/21) size wire for what??
O'Reilly along with most parts houses here are a joke. I could get the parts but probably cheaper to buy them on ebay.(quoted from post at 20:34:20 10/30/21) Don't know if you have an O'Reilly's in your area but I can buy 0 and 00 cable from them and the ends etc. from them
(quoted from post at 19:13:02 10/30/21) It depends on the tractor and length of cable, but for an old 6 volt typical mid sized tractor I recommend 1 Gauge absolute
minimum, but prefer 0 better yet 00 battery cables. Bigger cable = less line voltage drop leaving more for the starter where
its needed most. For no more then the cost difference especially to help starting in cold weather some 00 copper welding
cables are a great choice

(quoted from post at 19:55:33 10/30/21) I will probably go with 21 inch. My auto electric guy sold me #2 in the past which I thought was small but took his word for it. Might be ok as they went very long. I want to make sure this time. Kind of a test. Put a new solenoid on it today and it stuck probably caused by old cables. I have a,12v in it now but going to see if I can make it work on 6v mainly as a experiment.
I always appreciate your knowledgeable input. Thank you.(quoted from post at 10:06:06 10/31/21) I know I was just backing up and enforcing our mutual opinion that bigger is better lol
Best wishes Ollie, take care
