Hey everybody! I just got my dad's 300 to my house to tinker on for the summer. It has a few oil leaks and some electrical issues but I wanna clean it up and maybe pull it a few times this summer. First question is: The tractor is still a 6 volt system which doesn't bother me but not really fimilar with them. Right now the cable that runs to the starter is connected to the negative post on the battery, is this right? now I know that on a 12 volt system the postive runs to the starter. The tractor has started this way for awhile in fact I started it a few times this spring that way. Is $60.00 too much to pay for a 500 cca 6 volt battery? I really think I have a bad battery cause the lights work if I have the battery charger on it but if I unplug it they quit working immediatley and the starter tries to work with the charger but won't spin over and won't do anything after I unhook the charger. Next question: The tractor has a wide front on it but is an aftermarket one. It needs a couple outer tie rod ends but don't know where to get them. My dad put the front end on after he bought the tractor 40 years ago he says it is an Norton or Nordon he is not sure but it has the name Sheffield stamped in it and there is a tag riveted to it but it has been painted over so I can't read it yet. Any of those names sound right? Also what is the right kind of spark plug to use AC, Autolite, Champion? Any info is apreicated. Thanks in advance!!
